Question from a Member:
I am getting ready to start an Inpatient position and was looking for a resource. I went on Amazon but there are many choices and I was unsure which to choose. I was hoping you had a suggestion. I am nervous as this is my first inpatient position at a very stressful time. Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Some colleagues who work on inpatient psychiatry units did not recommend any special or specific books on inpatient psychiatry. But, inpatient psychiatry does have many unique issues and perspectives for us to consider. So, books specific to inpatient psychiatry probably do add some value in addition to general reading in psychiatry.
