Law and the Mental Health System: Civil and Criminal Aspects (American Casebook Series)

Rating:
Summary: Law & The Mental Health System - A Review
Review: Good coveage of the caselaw when it was published in 1998, but much has happened in the mental health area of law since then. The clinical studies and theories were hopelessly outdated when the text was published, and are today so dated as to do a disservice to the reader. Until this text is updated, especially in the clincal areas, I cannot recommend it.

Rating:
Summary: no bones about it...
Review: this law book is bone dry, and delivers exactly the information, and nothing but the information the authors set out to address-- not a pleasure reading book, but a fascinating read and illuminating subsidiary to my class.
