About this title

Synopsis

A comprehensive, concise resource outlining the legal obligations and responsibilities of mental health professionals. Identifying legal topics affecting mental health practices and services, the authors address a wide range of legal topics, including licensing; privacy of professional information; practice laws related to families, juveniles, civil matters, and criminal matters; and limitations on and liability for practice. The laws surveyed are expressed with minimal legal jargon, making this volume maximally accessible to those outside of the legal profession. An essential introduction to clinically relevant laws for therapists and graduate students, it will help readers to become more intelligent consumers of legal services.
