The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD)
has generated new ideas and standards in healthcare and disability
law and policy. In the mental health context, the CRPD directs
governments to ensure people with mental impairments are treated
equally before the law, including ensuring people have access to
the resources necessary to enjoy their rights. But what this means
in practice remains unclear. In addition, current domestic laws
that authorise involuntary psychiatric interventions stand at
cross-purposes with the CRPD, which requires respect for the 'will,
preference and rights' of persons with disabilities 'on an equal
basis with others'. This book explores the implications of the CRPD
for law, policy and practice that respond to the complex issues
raised by mental health impairment and disability. It argues that
the support framework of the CRPD holds the potential to address
persistent shortcomings in mental health law and policy.
