Reviews

While Ethical Issues in Forensic Psychiatry appears to be targeted at the forensic psychiatrist, as emphasised in the title, I believe that it can be valuable reading for all forensic mental health professionals... Ethical Issues in Forensic Psychiatry makes practical ethics easy reading... This book is an invaluable guide to ethical practice. (Journal of Mental Health, 1 October 2011)
