"The legal and clinical worlds are very different in how they are organized and practiced. For the neophyte or experienced forensic mental health practitioner, these differences will seem much less perplexing given this expert guidance from Glancy and Regehr. Clearly written and very accessible, this volume addresses key Canadian cases as both landmarks on an issue and as exemplars of how the legal system operates. This work will prove of huge value to clinicians who are practicing in the forensic area."

"A true success — Glancy and Regehr have done a splendid job of outlining landmark cases for all forensic mental health practitioners in their comprehensive book, Canadian Landmark Cases in Forensic Mental Health. In usual form, they have brought concise and clear writing accessible for lay to advanced audiences. They start with an orientation to the Canadian legal system and role of the courts. They then review many of the cases in the major practice domains relevant to current forensic practice. All sections are through the lens of an experienced forensic psychiatrist, making the information highly clinically relevant. This will undoubtedly become required reading and a resource for anyone practicing forensic mental health in Canada."
