In a book infused with gems, a number of jewels gleam especially bright: These are the chapters devoted to mental disability law, policy and service delivery; the recovery movement; child mental health policy; mental health issues in the criminal justice system, co-occurring addictive and mental disorders, and racial and ethnic minorities. This is a timely gift because this volume provides the best tools available to address the challenges outlined in the final report of the President's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health.
