Fully updated with recent legislation on mental health issues, this new edition is both understandable and invaluable. Covering the mental health needs of specialist groups, "ABC in Mental Health" provides general practitioners, hospital doctors, nursing staff, counselors, and social workers with all the information they need for the everyday treatment of patients with mental health problems.
