"A well-organized and comprehensive review with contributions from well-known experts in the field. The Canadian perspective is a welcome addition, especially for legal aspects of psychiatric practice. The summary of key points at the end of each chapter, reference lists, and practice examination will be particularly appreciated. This book promises to become a valuable resource for residents during training and exam preparation."-- "Mimi Israel, M.D., F.R.C.P.C., Chair, Department of Psychiatry, McGill University, and Psychiatrist-in-Chief, Douglas Mental Health University Institute, Montreal, Quebec"
