Reviews"Readers of this book will learn a great deal about the policies that have reflected, promoted, and perpetuated discrimination against people with mental illnesses." -- PsycCRITIQUES "Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and graduate students; professionals." -- Choice "Having written with lucidity, the book has an attractive way of discussing one of the thoughtful medico-social issues with the help of various definitions, examples, situations, controversies, and various Acts aligned with the issue. The flow of content across the book is excellent, quickly readable, and easily understandable. The book is useful for any researcher dealing with ethical vis-à-vis unethical issues surrounded around the discrimination against the persons with mental illness. It is said so because along with providing an extensive and holistic view of the issue, the author has furnished the critical resources which will enable the researcher to go beyond what the author has tried to achieve through the book." -- Metapsychology Online Review, "Readers of this book will learn a great deal about the policies that have reflected, promoted, and perpetuated discrimination against people with mental illnesses." - PsycCRITIQUES
