It is a wonder we have managed so long without such a book. It is easy to imagine Mental Health Law for Nurses becoming a standard text if not the standard text on the subject. Tony Gillam, Nursing Times, 1996 Mental Health Law for Nurses is well and worthily recommended in this difficult area of care. William Whitfield, Journal of Advanced Nursing, Vol. 24.
