{"product_id":"mental-health-law-policy-and-practice-9780199661503","title":"Mental Health Law: Policy and Practice","description":"Written by two of the country's leading specialists in mental health law, this book provides a detailed overview of the law and the socio-legal, historical, sociological, and cultural issues that surround it. Mental health law, at its heart, involves the forcible confinement and medication of some of society's most vulnerable people, and the authors look closely at the social issues raised by this, and the human rights of those who suffer from mental illness. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith reference to recent cases and new legislation, Peter Bartlett and Ralph Sandland analyse the legal structure and functions of the mental health system, and the problems of characterizing mental health law. The legal issues described contain implied premises as to what it is to be a citizen, what the role of the state is for the vulnerable, and what the relative roles of law and medicine are in the regulation of control and deviance. Mental health law is an area of considerable legal and social complexity, and the authors challenge readers to question the system and the policies that have been developed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Bartlett,Ralph Sandland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/02\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 712\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 6.70w x 1.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780199661503\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePeter Bartlett, \u003cem\u003eNottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust Professor of Mental Health Law, University of Nottingham\u003c\/em\u003e, Ralph Sandland, \u003cem\u003eAssociate Professor in Law, University of Nottingham\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePeter Bartlett is Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust Professor of Mental Health Law in the Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Nottingham \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRalph Sandland is Associate Professor in the Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Nottingham\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":66956718178419,"sku":"9780199661503","price":150.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_a35aed89-d70e-4f8d-8131-517af83718b8.jpg?v=1792580286","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/mental-health-law-policy-and-practice-9780199661503","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
