Content:
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 workplacePractice guidelines for conducting workplace mental health disability evaluationsLegal and ethical aspects of employment evaluations, especially as they differ from clinical procedureExamination of the process of the development of psychiatric disabilityIssues specific to evaluations for Social Security, Workers’ Compensation, and other disability benefit programsIssues specific to evaluations for the Americans with Disabilities Act and Fitness-For-Duty evaluationsReview of relevant administrative and case law
