How to Order

Mental Health Law in New Zealand 2nd Edition is a unique guide to the interaction between the mental health system and the law in New Zealand. This book displays a sound understanding of the complex clinical realities that arise in this area of medical practice, and is aimed at mental health professionals, psychiatric social workers, caregivers, advocacy groups, lawyers, and medical, social science and law students.

While this edition broadly covers the same material as the 1st edition, the text has been updated by incorporating important statutory and case law developments in the intervening period. In addition new chapters have been included dealing with the following topics:

• Intellectual Disability
• Young People
• Seclusion and Restraint
• Discharge
• Privacy and Confidentiality
• The Protection of Personal and Property Rights Act 1988

The ordering of material in some of the existing chapters has also been significantly altered to make the text more accessible to a diverse readership. However, while there is more extensive commentary on some clinical issues, the book remains primarily a discussion of mental health law and practice.
