商品描述

As many as one in four adults in the workforce will suffer from psychiatric illness in a given year. Such illness can have serious consequences -- job loss, lawsuits, workplace violence--yet the effects of mental health issues on job functioning are rarely covered in clinical training. In addition, clinicians are often asked to provide opinions on an employee's fitness for work or an evaluation for disability benefits, only to find themselves embroiled in complex legal and administrative conflicts. A unique collaboration between a renowned clinical professor of psychiatry and a noted legal expert, Evaluating Mental Health Disability in the Workplace approaches the topic from two distinct areas: the legal context and issues relevant to disability and disability-related evaluations, and the interplay of factors in the relationship between work and psychiatric illness. From this dual perspective, the authors advocate for higher professional standards ensuring that employers, evaluees, or third parties are provided with the most reliable information.

Key features of the book:

  • A robust assessment model of psychological disability in the workplace

  • Practice guidelines for conducting workplace mental health disability evaluations

  • Legal and ethical aspects of employment evaluations, especially as they differ from clinical procedure

  • Examination of the process of psychiatric disability development

  • Issues specific to evaluations for Social Security, Workers' Compensation, and other disability benefit programs

  • Review of relevant administrative and case law.

As an introduction to these complex issues or for the further improvement of evaluation skills, Evaluating Mental Health Disability in the Workplace is a timely reference for psychiatrists, psychologists, forensic mental health specialists, and attorneys in this field.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

在任何一年中，工作中的成年人中有多達四分之一會遭受精神疾病的困擾。這類疾病可能帶來嚴重的後果——失業、訴訟、工作場所暴力——然而，精神健康問題對工作功能的影響在臨床訓練中卻很少被提及。此外，臨床醫生經常被要求對員工的工作適應性或殘障福利進行評估，卻發現自己捲入複雜的法律和行政衝突中。《Evaluating Mental Health Disability in the Workplace》是由一位著名的精神病學臨床教授和一位知名法律專家共同合作的作品，從法律背景及與殘障和殘障相關評估的問題，以及工作與精神疾病之間關係的多重因素進行探討。從這個雙重視角出發，作者主張提高專業標準，以確保雇主、被評估者或第三方獲得最可靠的信息。

本書的主要特點包括：
- 一個強健的工作場所心理殘障評估模型
- 進行工作場所心理健康殘障評估的實務指導
- 就業評估的法律和倫理方面，特別是與臨床程序的不同之處
