In 2015, the First Edition of the Oxford Textbook of Correctional Psychiatry brought together American and international experts to provide a wide-ranging overview of correctional psychiatry, an area of medical practice that requires unique knowledge and skill. Since that time, the field has continued to grow, with increasing recognition that all psychiatrists, not just those working in correctional settings, should be equipped with knowledge about mental health in prisons and jails. This Second Edition speaks to a broad audience, providing basic information to prepare students, general psychiatry residents, and forensic psychiatry fellows for clinical rotations, as well as advanced content involving complexities that will interest even the most experienced practitioners.

This comprehensive textbook comprises a complete update of the First Edition to reflect evolving standards of practice. Significant revisions include guidance on the treatment of transgender individuals, the use of medication-assisted treatment (MAT) for substance use disorders, trauma-informed care, and the management of mental illness in restrictive housing settings. The book also includes seven new chapters on topics such as telepsychiatry, staff wellness, jail-based competency restoration, peer support programs, and immigrants in detention.

With contributions from dozens of prominent experts from around the world, the Oxford Textbook of Correctional Psychiatry, Second Edition stands apart from other available resources. The first edition won the American Psychiatric Association's prestigious Manfred S. Guttmacher Award, which recognizes an outstanding contribution to the literature in forensic psychiatry. This book enables readers at any stage of career to gain the understanding and practical knowledge needed to approach clinical, organizational, and ethical challenges they may face in correctional settings.
