An outstanding overview June 6, 2008
There are seemingly endless "handbooks" and "basic principles" texts on the market for almost any topic or specialty in the mental health field. What distinguishes this book from others of its kind is its accessibility, breadth and clarity. It identifies the relevant questions in the field and addresses them without sacrificing clinical sophistication. As someone who is not a forensic specialist, I found I could readily apply the content of this book to the subset of my patients for whom this material is relevant. This is a great resource. Highly recommended.

Many requests for information about how to obtain this book have been sent to the editor. Most problems related to the fact that the publisher of the First Printing no longer owns the rights to the book. The current publisher of the Second Printing (i.e. a second printing of the First Edition) of this book is Edward Arnold Publishers, based in London, Enlgand. The date of the Second Printing is 1998. Books from Edward Arnold Publishers are distributed in the USA by Oxford University Press, located in New York, N.Y. Other persons have inquired when the next completely new Second Edition will be available. The editor is working hard on this project, but the new book will not be available for several years, i.e. probably in 2003.
I share the simply expressed views of the previous reviewer. April 10, 1999
