Description: "The purpose of this book is to collate material that is widely dispersed in the literature, to form the basis for discussion of the dilemmas that all therapists face during their professional practice. Psychiatry is a fertile field for disagreement and conjecture and these provide grist to the legal and regulatory mills as they seek to control and simplify issues that are not amenable to models of human conduct. This book is meant to provide a basis from which to begin to derive answers to the complex clinical, ethical, and legal dilemmas that the therapist faces" -- Page vii.
