This book provides an important critique of mental health law and
practice in China, with a focus on involuntary detention and
treatment. The work explores China's mental health law reform
regarding treatment decision-making in the new era of the UN
Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). It
adopts a socio-legal approach, not only by undertaking a
comprehensive desk-based analysis of the reforms introduced by
China's Mental Health Law (MHL) but also examining its
implementation based on evidence from practice. The book seeks to
investigate whether China's first national MHL takes a step closer
to the requirements of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons
with Disabilities on mental health treatment decision-making, and,
if not, why not? The book will be of interest to those working in
the areas of mental health law and policy, medical law and
disability, human rights law, and Asian Studies.
