The authors do an excellent job of stressing how important this subject is, and the book's numerous short chapters allow readers to quickly find the information they seek, as well as the resources to dig deeper if needed. This second edition is quite valuable as mental health, and particularly the approach to behavioral emergencies, is a rapidly evolving field.
