Principles of Inpatient Psychiatry is geared to psychiatrists working in inpatient settings: residents, psychiatrists who occasionally provide inpatient care, and psychiatric "hospitalists" who specialize in the inpatient arena. Inpatient settings contain the sickest psychiatric patients, such as those with a high risk of suicide, agitation requiring emergency management, or treatment-resistant psychosis and depression, all topics discussed in the book. Co-morbid general-medical illness is common, and the book focuses attention, supported by case examples, on medical and neuropsychiatric as we

For decades, the work of one of America¡¦s most influential poets, 1925 Pulitzer Prize¡Vwinner Amy Lowell (1874¡V1925), has been largely overlooked. Cigar-smoker, Boston Brahmin, lesbian, impresario, entrepreneur, wildly popular lecturer, and best-selling poet, Lowell gave voice to an erotic, thoroughly American sensibility. She was a respected authority on modern poetry, forging the path that led to the works of Allen Ginsberg, May Sarton, Sylvia Plath, and beyond. Yet, since her death, her work has suffered critical neglect. This volume presents the most sustained examination of this pr

This groundbreaking book uses the possibility that Shakespeare began his theatrical career in Lancashire to open up a range of new contexts for reading the plays, and introduces readers to the non-metropolitan theater spaces which formed a vital part of early modern dramatic activity. Essays give a detailed picture of the contexts in which the apprentice dramatist would have worked, providing new insights into regional performance, touring theatre, the patronage of the Earls of Derby, and the purpose-built theater at Prescot.

This important collection of essays focuses on the place of Roman Catholicism in early modern England, bringing new perspectives to bear on the question of whether Shakespeare himself was Catholic. Among the many topics discussed are the nature of Elizabethan Catholicism, Jesuit drama in the period, individual plays in the light of these questions, and the possible influence of religious conflicts on the publication of the Shakespeare First Folio.

"Strategic Investment Decision Making" is based upon a study of strategic investment decisions in a wide range of UK and international companies. The authors examine these decisions from the perspective of organizational decision-making theory. They find that investments are not made only by the application of formal quantitative procedures but also involve the more qualitative processes of judgement, negotiation and inspiration. The concept of decision effectiveness is examined and two primary factors identified. These are: the "objectives-attainment" factor and the "learning factor". A numbe

Reprimand a class comic, restrain a bully, dismiss a student for brazen attire--and you may be facing a lawsuit, costly regardless of the result. This reality for today’s teachers and administrators has made the issue of school discipline more difficult than ever before--and public education thus more precarious. This is the troubling message delivered in Judging School Discipline, a powerfully reasoned account of how decades of mostly well-intended litigation have eroded the moral authority of teachers and principals and degraded the quality of American education. Judging School Di
