It is designed specifically for non-medical professionals who practise in public and private work in the Family Court, and advises on what adjustments need to be considered for those appearing in court who are suffering with a mental disorder. It provides: Clear descriptions of the nature of each mental disorder, as well as their treatment and management, with links to further information and specialist help Explanations of how mental disorders and illness can impact on family dynamics and relationships Case studies that illustrate real-life scenarios In addressing the legal framework of the Family Court, the authors look at the crossover between the Children Act 1989 and the Mental Health Act 1983 in how they relate to children and young people, and show how reports and assessments that are produced for the Family Court fit into this. This is an essential title for all those who work within the Family Court jurisdiction from judges, magistrates and family lawyers to Cafcass officers, social workers and CAMHS multi-disciplinary teams.

The Hyperactivity Hoax

How to Stop Drugging Your Child and Find Real Medical Help

By: Dr. Sydney Walker, III, M.D.

Each year, millions of children take Ritalin, which means thousands of doctors are diagnosing them with hyperactivity or ADD. But what do these diagnoses mean? Are drugs the answer for these illnesses? And most importantly, is your child getting the proper treatment for his or her problem? In The Hyperactivity Hoax, neuropsychiatrist Dr. Sydney Walker cogently explores the medical minefield of hyperactivity and helps parents arrive at safe, effective answers for their children, without unnecessarily drugging them with potentially dangerous mind-altering medicine. Included in his in-depth guide is: * How to determine if your child needs medical help * How to find a good doctor, a real diagnosis, and effective treatment * How to assert yourself when talking to doctors and school officials * How to evaluate both traditional and alternative approaches to treating hyperactivity and ADD * And much more invaluable information in caring for your child's health. A myth-shattering book no parent can afford to miss! "This book is a disturbing but compelling must-read for any parent whose child shows signs of a hyperactivity disorder or is using Ritalin now."--Publishers Weekly
