"The last decade has not seen a specialist publication addressed to legal representation. It was worth the wait. The three highly experienced authors have pulled together in one concise volume all the necessary strands of this highly complex area of practice. Having the vast majority of required material in one location will ultimately save time - and money. And the timing could not be better." Richard Charlton - Chair of the Mental Health Lawyers Association, Gazette, May 2013
