Abstract
Editor's Note: To encourage attention to medical errors in psychiatry, Psychiatric Services introduced the Patient Safety Forum in December 2003. Expert discussants are invited to address important questions in this area. Benjamin Grasso, M.D., is guest editor of the forum. Contributing to this month's forum are Virginia Green, a mental health care consumer; Carol Carothers, executive director of NAMI Maine, and Peter Driscoll, M.S.W., director of Amistad, Maine's largest peer support and recovery center; Dollie Hunt-Wilson, another consumer; and Christine Siegfried, M.S.S.W., and Jenifer Wood, Ph.D., of the National Center for Child Traumatic Stress.
