Helping the Helpers Not to Harm Summary

Helping the Helpers Not to Harm: Iatrogenic Damage and Community Mental Health by Gerald Caplan

The authors of this controversial volume have collected case studies and observational accounts of caregivers for over 15 years. Iatrogenic harm is a serious and widespread problem that many have been reluctant to speak out about for fear of being blacklisted by their colleagues. In writing this book the authors hope to establish guidelines that will help caregivers to recognize and deal with potentially harmful behavior thereby improving the standards of care for all patients.
