About this product

Product Information

This is a 'how to' book guiding clinicians through the mental health legislation that they need in their daily practice. It includes practical advice on detaining and treating patients, civil and court detentions, community treatment orders, consent to treatment and giving written and oral evidence for Mental Health Tribunals. In addition to the Mental Health Act 1983 and its more recent amendments from 2007, the book also includes relevant aspects of the Human Rights Act 1998, the Mental Capacity Act 2005 (including the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards) and illustrative case law. Tony Zigmond is a psychiatrist with many years experience of using the legislation in his clinical practice. The book is written using the language of clinicians and includes practical answers to many of the questions regularly asked of the author during the many training courses for section 12 approval and Approved Clinician training that he has given. Key points: 1) An essential guide for all users of the Mental Health Act. 2) Practical advice and answers to real-life clinical questions. 3) Readable and useful for everyday practice. 4) Written for doctors - not lawyers!
