Because nurses in any speciality may encounter patients suffering from mental disorder, it is extremely useful that they have an understanding of the legal principles involved. \u003ci\u003eMental Health Law for Nurses\u003c\/i\u003e provides such an introduction and practical guide to the law and directives embodied in treatment of persons exhibiting mental disorder. Additionally, for those nurses specialising in direct care of the mentally ill or handicapped, this book provides an easy reference and relevance to their daily practice.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridgit C.
