This book has been based as far as possible on facts that are correct. Social services have been given chance after chance to correct anything not accurate.Psychologists have seen the story, have said it is realistic and given an opinion as to what social services’ secret motive might be. However, no psychologist has been challenged on it.Libel tells the stories of Elizabeth and Margaret. In the face of malicious interference from psychiatrists, social workers and even their own families, both these women fight to prove that they have been unfairly treated by those who were supposed to care for them. They want the world to recognise that they pose no threat, either to themselves or to other people, and that their inaccurate notes from social services should be corrected. Both Elizabeth and Margaret hope that, by telling their stories, they can stop anything similar from happening to other people - it is in the public’s interest to know.Libel also includes sections in which the author discusses her concerns about the UK’s Mental Health Act 2007, its recent amendments, the application of the Act in practice and its potential for abuse.
