  • Title: Decision making in psychiatric emergencies.
    Author: Murdach AD.
    Journal: Health Soc Work; 1987; 12(4):267-74. PubMed ID: 3679014.
    Abstract:
    Social workers increasingly are being required to assist clients in emergency situations. Such conditions typically require rapid decision making and quick action. In this article, the processes practitioners use in their interventions in psychiatric emergencies are examined. This examination is based on concepts derived from cognitive psychology and decision-making theory. Implications for practice and training also are discussed.
