Phil Fennell's tightly argued study traces the history of treatment
of mental disorder in Britain over the last 150 years. He focuses
specifically on treatment of mental disorder without consent within
psychiatric practice, and on the legal position which has allowed
it. Treatment Without Consent examines many controversial areas:
the use of high-strength drugs and Electro Convulsive Therapy,
physical restraint and the vexed issue of the sterilisation of
people with learning disabilities. Changing notions of consent are
discussed, from the common perception that relatives are able to
consent on behalf of the patient, to present-day statutory and
common law rules, and recent Law Commission recommendations. This
work brings a complex and intriguing area to life; it includes a
table of legal sources and an extensive bibliography. It is
essential reading for historians, lawyers and all those who are
interested in the treatment of mental disorder.
