`...it captures some of the emotion and anxiety of these large institutions and in a very human way brings these hospitals and their ""politics"" out of the shadow....the chapters were very well written, informative and a 'good read'.` (Journal of Inner London Probation Service)
`Edited by, and with chapters from, two senior NHS managers involved in the special hospitals, this book provides a fascinatingÂ… view of the management challenges in the often closed world of Broadmoor, Rampton and Ashworth. The political realities of running such a service are well described and give the reader a flavour of what challenges managers face in handling the relationship between security and therapy. [The book] provides an excellent and useful analysis of the thorny issues of patient relationships, which any forensic mental health service would find valuable. [This book gives] an honest, and at times painful, examination of what goes on.'
