Choice An accessible introduction to legal tools for advocating for those suffering from mental illness. The text focuses on practical solutions and gives families and advocates tools and resources to advocate on behalf of their loved one. Each issue that is addressed provides a resource list of reliable law sources, aid organizations, resource publications, experts, and governmental agencies.

Corvus Strigiform, The Weightless State Between Here and There Linda Tashbook's Family Guide to Mental Illness and the Law is an indispensable handbook for not only family members of people with mental illness, but anyone in any proximity to mental illness and disability - including the sufferers themselves. The book is directed at family members, but it contains such a vast amount of accessible information that I can't think of anyone who would not benefit from having it around.
