Book Description

0632050195 978-0632050192 November 30, 1999 3
After the second edition was published (in 1994), a number of changes have taken place, including changes in the law, advances in treatment, and changes in the management of prisons and special hospitals.

The book remains essential reading for doctors taking the Membership examination of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, but also will be of interest to general psychiatrists, psychiatric nurses, social workers, lawyers, probation officers and criminologists. The subject is set out clearly, logically and expertly and arranged for quick reference.

Editorial Reviews

Review

This latest edition can safely be recommended to all pre-membership trainees and to any members of a forensic multi-disciplinary team. Consultants in all psychiatric specialities will also find it a useful quick guide.
British Journal of Psychiatry

All in all, a very useful book for a practicing forensic psychiatrist and can be heartily recommended.
International Journal of Forensic Medicine
