It covers civil and court detentions, Community Treatment Orders, consent to treatment and giving written and oral evidence for Mental Health Tribunals. It also includes relevant aspects of the Human Rights Act 1998, the Mental Capacity Act 2005 (including the Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards) and illustrative case law. Although it should be of particular interest to doctors seeking approval under section 12 and doctors and other clinicians wishing to become Approved Clinicians in England, it will aid understanding of the processes for all users of the Mental Health Act"--
