Using the Law: Practical Decision Making in Mental Health
Using the Law moves us one step closer to resolving practice dilemmas with much greater confidence. This book establishes the need for a usable application of laws for human service practice and provides a critical context beyond the human service profession s call for evidence-based practice. It correctly points out the lack of uniformity in managing professional dilemmas across the wide array of human service professions. The legal discourse reflects flexible and adaptive qualities that will benefit any professional human service practitioner or students pursuing a career in human services. It is well written, easy to read, and well organized. --Robert Ortega, University of Michigan
