Reviews

'This book acts as a very useful (and in my opinion, necessary) bridge between the two (mental health law and criminal law) and will assist criminal lawyers to recognise and apply legal provisions of especial relevance to those of their clients with mental disorders, something which of course must be very warmly welcomed.' John Horne, Editor, Journal of Mental Health
