One of the targets of the Govermnent White Paper, The Health of the Nation, was to reduce the suicide rate of severely mentally ill people by at least 33% by the year 2000. It is this target which the present manual (one of a series of Thematic Reviews) aims to address, by providing guidance to purchasers and providers of mental health services. The review brings together the salient aspects of what is known about suicide risk and its assessment and management when expressed by people who present themselves to mental healthcare services.

Clinical governance is a system through which NHS organizations are accountable for continuously improving the quality of their services and safeguarding high standards of care by creating an environment in which excellence in clinical care will flourish. It is at the heart of the current government's plans for reform of the NHS. This account of clinical governance is in particular aimed at giving a practical guide to doctors and medical students as to how the topic is integrated into their day to day medical work. It aims to relate what sounds an abstract concept to the practice of clinical medicine.Covers principles and practice of clinical governance - students and doctors need a book that moves beyond theory into the practical implementation of clinical governance Includes a feature called 'action guides' that are unique to this book - these guides demonstrate to the reader how to translate theory into practice Gives numerous practical example and case studies based on a range of clinical settings (wards, outpatients, theatre, A&E) and specialities - learning through experience and examples is an excellent way to bring this topic to life - and to distinguish this book from other, more theoretical approaches to clinical governance Chapters are short and to the point and are highly illustrated with diagrams, bullet point lists, algorithms - this feature will ensure that the book has a broad readership among medical students and nurses through to junior doctors and hospital doctors Will equip readers with the skills to address quality improvement effectively and efficiently - this book will help readers fulfil the overall aim of clinical governance, which is to ensure quality in clinical work

The third edition of this highly successful postgraduate psychiatry text offers a comprehensive review of the characteristic causes and treatment of the main  psychiatric disorders.  As with earlier editions, it is divided into four parts: General Principles, Clinical Disorders, Psychiatry in Special Settings, and Principles of Treatment.  It is also extensively referenced throughout and emphasizes the relationship of research findings to clinical practice. The text has been thoroughly revised and updated in line with the most recent developments in psychiatric practice and thinking.  In particular, the editors include more discussion of measurement issues, concepts of illness, brain function, and neurophysiology. The already distinguished team of contributors has been made even more impressive by the addition of new stars in the field.

The Rite of Spring is Stravinsky's most revolutionary work. This comprehensive guide tells in vivid detail the story of its inception and composition, of the stormy rehearsals that led to the scandalous premiere in 1913, and of Stravinsky's later betrayal of the ballet's first choreographer, Nijinsky. Peter Hill probes beneath the surface of the music to reveal an architectural conception of unsuspected guile and subtlety. He provides a detailed discussion of the work in performance and a hard-hitting conclusion, which poses a radical challenge to the orthodox view of the work.

Re-issued to coincide with the centenary of Messiaen's birth, The Messiaen Companion was the first major study to appear after the composer's death in April 1992. It was the first book to offer both a complete survey of Messiaen's extraordinary achievements and a comprehensive guide to his music, also examining in detail the enduring inspiration which Messiaen derived from his religious faith and from his lifelong passion for ornithology and the natural world. The contributors, all of whom have made a special study of the composer, include two biographers of Messiaen and a number of the foremost interpreters of his music. Messiaen's influential teaching is recalled in essays by three of his pupils (Pierre Boulez, George Benjamin, and Peter Hill), and the composer is also remembered in a remarkable and moving contribution from his widow and devoted musical companion, the pianist Yvonne Loriod.
