“I thought that the book was very well written as Dr. Brown covers a very complex issue in a thorough, accurate and thoroughly understandable manner.  The learning objectives and issues in regard to confidentiality are nicely set out at the outset and the rest of the work meets these expectations… Dr. Brown effectively discusses the importance of proactively dealing with these issues thus reducing the possibility of violence occurring…”
