This is a straightforward account of the legal issues relevant to Scottish psychiatric practice, explaining how the Scottish legal system deals with mental health issues, and outlines psychiatric care systems.
Until the publication of this book it has been very difficult for those involved with mental health and the law in Scotland to find relevant information on the subject. This title provides invaluable analysis of the new Mental Health legislation.
