Review Of Better Settlements -- Through Leverage, By P. J. Hermann. , James J. White

Reviews

Who ever learned to negotiate from a book? Probably no one, and one who seeks the kernel of wisdom which will make him an expert negotiator, who seeks the password for admittance to the negotiator's sanctum sanctorum-that person will hunt in vain through the pages of Mr. Hermann's book. I do not mean to suggest either that Mr. Hermann has withheld something in his power to reveal or that he has explicitly promised such a revelation.

Judicial Intervention As A Psychiatric Therapy Tool, Eleanor A. Blackley

Cleveland State Law Review

Commitment to a mental institution by itself does not, in all states, suspend civil rights. The court psychiatric unit is an early outpost of a preventive, coordinative venture which gives, at long last, practical humane expression to protection of and consideration for the civil rights of the mentally ill adult involuntary patient whose condition obstructs his capacity to demand such safeguards himself. Persons suffering from mental disorders are frequently too disabled to claim their civil rights themselves.

Damages For Emotional Distress In Ohio, James G. Young

Cleveland State Law Review

A review of Ohio cases reveals that Ohio law declares there cannot be recovery for mental distress unless it is accompanied by contemporaneous physical injury (i.e., contact), or unless the act was wilful, wanton or intentional. No Ohio cases were found where recovery for purely mental suffering, caused negligently, in and of itself was permitted.
