There has been much debate about mental health law reform and
mental capacity legislation in recent years with the UN Convention
on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities also having a major
impact on thinking about the issue. This edited volume explores the
concept of 'coercive care' in relation to individuals such as those
with severe mental illnesses, those with intellectual and cognitive
disabilities and those with substance use problems. With a focus on
choice and capacity the book explores the impact of and challenges
posed by the provision of care in an involuntary environment. The
contributors to the book look at mental health, capacity and
vulnerable adult's care as well as the law related to those areas.
The book is split into four parts which cover: human rights and
coercive care; legal capacity and coercive care; the legal
coordination of coercive care and coercive care and individuals
with cognitive impairments. The book covers new ground by exploring
issues arising from the coercion of persons with various
disabilities and vulnerabilities, helping to illustrate how the
capacity to provide consent to treatment and care is impaired by
reason of their condition.
