Gun Violence and Mental Illness, written by a multidisciplinary roster of authors who are leaders in the fields of mental health, public health, and public policy, is a practical guide to the issues surrounding the relation between firearms deaths and mental illness.

It is the strength and validity of the thesis that should prevail, not the so-called credentials of the "illustrious" authors.
