...this latest work by Harvey Teff is a worthy addition to the list...the earlier chapters contain a valuable discussion of many aspects of English psychiatric injury law...A final feature of this fascinating book is the new insights that Teff gives us on the floodgates fear . Peter Handford, Winthrop Professor of Law, University of Western Australia Tort Law Review 2009, 17 While this book contains a thorough examination of the leading cases and scholarship, what really sets the book apart from the rest is not its detail, but its reformist aim, bolstered by an impressive analysis of developments in a range of other common law jurisdictions including Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the USA. Causing Psychiatric and Emotional Harm is an impressive book. It's size is surprisingly deceptive as Teff manages to console a wide breadth of scholarly research into a mere 190 pages of text. It is especially hoped that Causing Psychiatric and Emotional Harm might be considered, discussed and cited by members of the judiciary. Carol Forrest Legal Studies Volume 30, Number 4, 2010
