Their analysis is augmented by coverage of relevant empirical and clinical literature. The relationship between society and the mentally disabled is also explored.

This review relates to the 4th Edition, which has been fairly significantly updated since the last reviewer's post. No doubt about it, this was written to be a textbook, it's fairly dense and packed with information. Yet it's also a pretty interesting read if your course takes the time to go through it. I also recommend the Mental Health and Disability Nutshell (Hermann) as a supplement - however that has not been updated since '97 and while most of the information is accurate, the text does contain topics the nutshell doesn't discuss.

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 The clinical studies and theories were hopelessly outdated when the text was published, and are yesterday so dated as to do a disservice to the reader. Until this text is updated, especially in the clincal areas, I cannot recommend it.

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.
