Book Review:
William J. Curran, reviewing Alexander Brooks’ Law, Psychiatry and the Mental Health System, 53 Texas L. Rev. 868 (1975).
 

Abstract:
Professor Brooks has her produced the first law school “casebook” devoted entirely to the law and psychiatry field. While the book, containing seventy-six principal cases, fully qualifies as a case collection, it serves even more as a gathering of reprinted journal articles and other source materials, plus original text and bibliographies. This wealth of material—more than the usual one-semester seminar law and psychiatry could handle—allows the instructor wide choice as to what areas he wishes to cover in depth or by survey, and what he may suggest as reading assignments to individual students or groups of students interested in further work in the field.
