In their latest collaboration, Clinical Manual of Psychiatry and Law, noted forensic psychiatrist Dr. Robert Simon and legal scholar Daniel Shuman, both recipients of the Guttmacher Award, have created a unique, practical reference to enable psychiatrists to transform the impact of the law on their clinical practices from an adversary to a working partner. In lieu of scare tactics or horror stories, Dr. Simon and Professor Shuman clearly explain not only what the law requires and why but how best to integrate its requirements to enhance clinical practice and reduce the risk of successful tort claims. They have written a clear, comprehensible, and accessible volume that will guide practitioners through the thickets of the law and benefit their clinical practices. This volume covers a wide range of topics, from confidentiality, privilege, informed consent and the right to refuse treatment to treatment boundaries, involuntary hospitalization, seclusion and restraint, management of violent as well as suicidal patients, and the additional requirements which apply to the treatment and evaluation of minors or persons with mental disabilities. It also includes the tort (i.e., negligence, intentional harm) claims that arise from a breach of the law's expectations. The content reflects the latest legal precedents concerning such topics as: • Establishment of the doctor-patient relationship and liability for damages caused by its breach, including new rulings governing confidentiality and testimonial privileges• Case law regarding informed consent—especially the issue of competency when dealing with minors or persons with mental disabilities• New rules and regulations restricting the use of seclusion and restraint• Guides to the most recent laws regarding involuntary hospitalization and emergency commitment• Insights into recent state court decisions concerning disclosures by therapists of threats of harm by patients against others, including such issues as conflicts between the duty to maintain confidentiality and the duty to protect• Reviews of recent legislation proscribing sexual misconduct or prosecuting sexual exploitation of patients under existing rape or sexual assault laws Clinicians will find this wealth of knowledge immediately practical and lawyers will appreciate its in-depth treatment of complex psychiatric issues. With extensive references and a glossary of legal terms, Clinical Manual of Psychiatry and Law deserves a place among the top legal references for mental health professionals.

Språk både speglar och formar samhällen, och präglar verkligheten för alla som verkar i dem. Denna grundsats inom sociolingvistik, studiet av språk i ett socialt sammanhang, är viktig för denna bok. I fokus står Sveriges nationella minoritetsspråk - finska, jiddisch, meänkieli, romani chib och samiska - samt svenskt teckenspråk som också har lagskydd inom svensk språklagstiftning.Författarna lyfter fram vardagens språkliga praktiker som ett angreppssätt för att förstå den levda erfarenheten av språkpolitik. Men de beskriver också de historiska processer som lett till dagens situation för de nationella minoritetsspråken. Hur har villkoren kommit att förändras för deras talare? Hur upplever de sin förmåga och möjlighet att använda sina språk? Och hur gör sig historien påmind i nuet? Boken är avsedd för utbildningar som anlägger sociolingvistiska perspektiv på flerspråkighet. Inte minst är den en viktig resurs för lärarstudenter och lärare i arbetet med att förmedla uppdaterad kunskap om nationella minoriteter och deras språk.Kenneth Hyltenstam, professor emeritus i tvåspråkighetsforskning vid Stockholms universitet, medverkar med ett omfattande efterord.
