Good Basic Resource

This is a handy resource for professionals. The only problem is that it could use some updating. At the time this book was published, the ADA wasn't in place.

A Lifesaver- but a bit out of date

2006-04-28
This book was a lifesaver when it came to preparing for final exams. A very nice summary that hits all the major topics in Mental Health law. My only complaint is that it hasn't been updated since 97. So although most of the information is still accurate, it doesn't cover any of the more-recent developments in the law. Either way, if your struggling in a course, it's a great tool to have- just be aware that it was published in 1997, but I've looked and this was the best option I could find.
