title: Emergency psychiatric assessment: the nurse, psychiatrist, and counselor roles during the process.
abstract: 1. Psychiatric nurses, psychiatrists, and counselors value their previous clinical experiences and appear empathetic with patients. 2. Clinical experience facilitates the development of expertise in clinical skills, more willingness to include clients in the decision-making process, and increase self-confidence when making less restrictive treatment recommendations. 3. Psychiatric nurses differ from psychiatrists and counselors in their perceptions of teamwork, responsibility, role expectation, and in connecting with clients.
