Average Customer Ratings:

In his prepublication reviews, Dempster said, "Swenson not only discusses how the system opperates, he gives ver plausible and undertandable reasons why it operates the way it does. He succeeds in demystifying the legal world and summarizing its history in an understandable format. . . . Books like Swenson's help level the playing field for mental health professionals who all to often have felt victimized by the court process and have misunderstood the legal process of 'truth finding.'" In this Second Edition of his comprehensive, well respected text, Swenson emphasizes what people in the helping professions need to know about the law so they can avoid, as he puts it, the "land mines" and understand how their treatment decisions are likely to have legal consequences.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:

Great working reference -
I had the pleasure of reading this text in Dr. Swenson, Esq.'s course on the subject. Even after receiving my bachelor degree in psychology and becoming and attorney, I still occasionally reach for this book for a practice pointer or two. Were I practicing family law, I suspect I would do this more often.

This wonderful guidebook is written in plain English and does not require legal training or even a psychology degree to understand, but at the same time is not so remedial that working professionals (in law or psychology) should skip it.

This book deals with a great number of issues in an intelligent manner, and I highly recommend it as good reading.
