After the second edition was published (in 1994), a number of
changes have taken place, including changes in the law, advances in
treatment, and changes in the management of prisons and special
hospitals.
The book remains essential reading for doctors taking the
Membership examination of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, but
also will be of interest to general psychiatrists, psychiatric
nurses, social workers, lawyers, probation officers and
criminologists. The subject is set out clearly, logically and
expertly and arranged for quick reference.
