" ... easy to read, with the different subject matters clearly set out. The authors have appropriately used text boxes to provide practical information and the use of tables to present information is very helpful to the reader. ... Overall I found this book to be a well structured concise, practical guide to forensic psychiatry."- Rebecca O'Donovan, East Midlands Forensic Psychiatry Training
