Risk management at the margins: less-familiar topics in psychiatric malpractice.

Source

Department of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Mass., USA.

Abstract

To help in risk management, the author reviews areas of liability exposure that lie outside the familiar, "mainstream" issues for mental health clinicians. Three such areas are addressed: supervision issues, motor-vehicle driving cases, and so-called "pure" boundary violation cases. In each of these areas, the theoretical underpinning is provided and specific strategies to diminish liability exposure are described.
