ReviewsThis book provides trenchant, short summaries of Landmark cases that facilitate study for forensic psychiatry board exams. Phillip J. Resnick, M.D. Professor of Psychiatry, Case Western Reserve University and Course Director, Forensic Psychiatry Review Course "Drs. Ford, Rotter and their colleagues have assembled a supremely practical collection of summaries of landmark cases in law and psychiatry. Among the terrific features of this volume are links that enable readers to access each case online, and a set of questions after each section that tests understanding of the cases. Trainees in forensic psychiatry and psychology-as well as experienced practitioners seeking to refresh their knowledge-will find this book indispensable." -- Paul S. Appelbaum, MD, Dollard Professor of Psychiatry, Medicine & Law, Columbia University "This short work offers brief summaries of legal cases highlighted by American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law (AAPL) and the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN) for their importance in the ever-changing landscape of medical and mental health treatment. The questions are relevant and illustrate many of the vital concepts discussed in the case summaries. I imagine this book will become a favorite of those studying for the ABPN's Forensic Psychiatry Board Examination, but it will also be useful as a quick reference tool for forensic practitioners."

SynopsisForensic psychiatry (the interface of psychiatry and the law), forensic psychology, and mental health law are growing and evolving subspecialties in their respective larger disciplines. Topics included in these fields include a range as diverse as capital sentencing guidelines, informed consent, and standards of care for mental health treatment. All of these topics need to be understood and mastered by clinicians, educators, administrators and attorneys workingwith psychiatric patients. This book brings together concise, comprehensive summaries of the most important "landmark" legal decisions relating to mental health practice in the United States. Thesedecisions, along with their underlying reasonings, make up a critical portion of the national certification examination for forensic psychiatry offered by the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology (ABPN). Many of the themes are also tested in the ABPN certification examination for general psychiatry. This book is the first to provide a combination of summaries of the relevant legal content paired with board-style test questions designed to help consolidate knowledge and prepare forcertification. Cases with similar themes are grouped together with an eye toward helping the reader understand the evolution of legal and clinical thinking on a particular topic. This book represents animportant addition to the study tools and textbooks available related to psychiatry and the law and will serve as a useful reference for clinicians who must follow established legal requirements in their field., This book is the first of its kind to combine concise, easy-to-understand summaries of 116 landmark mental health cases for practicing clinicians, attorneys, educators and students with over 130 board-style multiple-choice questions to help consolidate knowledge.
