Synopsis
Every day, mental health professionals are faced with making practice decisions involving cultural, ethical, moral, regional, personal, and legal considerations. Using the Law: Practical Decision Making in Mental Health shows readers how to resolve practice problems efficiently through a structured application of legal principles. Unlike other law and ethics textbooks, Using the Law presents a unified perspective that stresses the integration of the fundamental legal, ethical cultural, and pragmatic factors influencing practice.
