Written by experts in the fields of both mental health and law, Mental Health & Scots Law in Practice gives a complete overview of mental health from the perspective of those it affects as part of their professional duties: solicitors and advocates, psychiatrists, psychologists, criminologists, social workers and nurses.
The combination of specialisms in the author team ensures that the subject matter is presented in a manner accessible to those working in either area. To encourage this understanding the book contains useful introductions to both mental disorder and the Scottish legal system.
This brand new edition with a new author team further expands upon the impact of the Mental Health (Care and Treatment) Scotland Act 2003 on those involved with mental health in Scotland.
Increased detail on effectiveness of tribunals is included along with a new chapter on risk. An essential description on the provisions of the Adults with Incapacity (Scotland) Act 2000, as amended, is also provided.
The authors provide key guidance on Psychiatric systems and services for mentally disordered offenders, including the new legislation for psychiatric defences as of 2012. The book goes further and offers practical advice on providing expert reports and giving evidence in court, ensuring you can confidently confront the challenges this raises.
