Mental Health Law Policy And Practice by Peter Bartlett

Mental Health Law Policy And Practice by Peter Bartlett

This text provides a detailed overview of the laws surrounding mental health and the socio-legal, historical, sociological, and cultural issues related to them. The role of the law and medical treatments in regulating and controlling deviance, are explored alongside the fundamental rights and liberties of some of society's most vulnerable people.

This publication makes the law simple [and] should be essential reading for every mental health worker..I highly recommend it. Nursing Standard

His major research and teaching interests lie in the areas of socio-legal history (particularly as it relates to queer studies and to mental health), and health care law (particularly mental health law). Ralph Sandland teaches in the areas of family law, health care law and criminal justice. His research interests span these areas, as well as jurisprudence, feminist theory, and postmodern philosophy. Ralph is also a Co-ordinating Editor of the Journal Social and Legal Studies
