Format:Hardcover
This book is a detailed guide to the Mental Health Law of California. It elaborates in lucid fashion the details of the law including the role and responsibilities of physicians for commitment of the mentally ill. It makes clear the situations where the physician can and cannot act.
It is a useful resource for physicians and mental health workers who care for patients IN CALIFORNIA.

Outstanding coverage, best prep for CJPEE
31 Aug 2005
Format:Hardcover
This text clearly and concisely covers the most critical and challenging aspects of California mental health law. No legalese or unusual jargon, just common sense answers to your most frequently asked questions. I used this text to prepare for the CJPEE and I could not recommend it more highly. It's an interesting read and very helpful to the practicing therapist.

California Mental Health Law
2 Dec 2007
Format:Hardcover
Useful book. Written in easy to read and understand language for those of us who do not enjoy wading through otherwise dull and dry text of legal and ethical codes. In each chapter the authors respond to questions posed with thoughtful and clear responses. A part II of this text would be great and I for one, would purchase it if it were in the same format.
