FROM THE INTRODUCTION OF VOLUME 1: “This book addresses the legal issues that affect the mentally disordered inmate. Charters 1 and 2 set out the boundaries of the problem and give an overview of the legal issues generally. Chapters 3 and 4 provide a broad review of the laws governing the legal identity and basic rights of prisoners, including the right to treatment where a serious medical need exists and how that right carries over to a serious mental disorder. Subsequent chapters address in greater detail the problems in these areas and the legal discussions and holdings pertaining to them. The chapters provide extensive citations to leading cases and specific guidance on the legal obligations and duties of those who supervise or treat mentally disordered inmates, the rights of the incarcerated mentally ill, and best policies and practices. Problems related to specific populations are treated in detail. For example, Chapter 20 covers juvenile detainees and inmates and the special situations to which their cases can give rise. Chapter 21 covers sexual predators, discussing among other things the legal complexities associated with the rise of sex offender treatment programs.

From he cover: The field of community psychiatry has been called "the third psychiatric revolution," the first major breakthrough in the field since the awakening of humanitarian concern among psychiatrists, and the Freudian scientific era. This third revolution can be broadly defined as the attempt by the community to use inter- related services to deal with the preventive and rehabilitative mental health problems of its people. For the psychiatrist, this new movement will mean less emphasis on intensive psychotherapy and more attention to the sociology of his community.

From the Preface: “When, more than twenty years ago, I began to work on The Myth of Mental Illness, I unwittingly undertook an enter­prise that assumed a life of its own. My initial aim was merely to demonstrate that mental illness was fake or meta­phorical illness and that psychiatry was fake or metaphorical medicine. But there was no stopping. I followed from this that men­tal hospitalization was not the therapeutic intervention it was officially claimed to be. If involuntary, as had been typical throughout the history of psychiatry, hospitalization was ex­pulsion from society; and if voluntary, as was sometimes the modern arrangement, then it was escape from society. Ac­cordingly, I next devoted myself to an examination and expo­sition of the complex historical, linguistic, moral, and socio­logical aspects of various psychiatric ideas and interventions, many of which are characterized by an insidious and per­vasive combination of disease with deviance, illness with im­morality, cure with control, treatment with torture. The present work is an effort to complete the demytholo- gizing of psychiatry begun inThe Myth of Mental Illness….”
