Beskrivning

In The Wounded Attorney, Catherine Young and Wendy Packmanprovide keen insight and commentary into how psychological disorders manifest in attorneys. Attorneys experience an alarming rate of mental health challenges, yet mental health and substance abuse issues often go unnoticed by colleagues and are unacknowledged by attorneys themselves. As both attorneys and psychologists, the uniquely qualified Young and Packman explore how mental health issues appear in the legal profession. The authors urge for an overhaul of the current framework of attorney discipline and construct a compelling argument for a therapeutic approach that destigmatizes mental health issues.

Recensioner i media

[This book’s] value is in its collection of statistics, survey of the psychological literature, and understanding of the legal profession as woven together by authors who are lawyers and psychologists…. A real strength of the text, and the format through which it makes its point most forcefully, is a series of 38 case examples. These are derived from real issues that lawyers and disciplinary boards have confronted and help to contextualize an acutely problematic misunderstanding of mental disorder found among lawyers. The text concludes with recommendations based on the authors' observations and supported by the case examples…. Recommended. Graduate students, faculty, and professionals.
