In the first work of investigative journalism in decades to give a
comprehensive view into contemporary psychiatric incarceration and
forced interventions, Your Consent Is Not Required exposes how
rising numbers of people from many walks of life are being
subjected against their will to surveillance, indefinite detention,
and powerful tranquilising drugs, restraints, seclusion, and
electroshock. There's a common misconception that, due to asylum
closures, only "dangerous" people get committed now. But forced
psychiatric interventions today occur in thousands of public and
private hospitals, and also in group and long-term care facilities,
troubled-teen and residential treatment centers, and even in
people's own homes under outpatient commitment orders. Intended to
"help," for many people the experiences are terrifying,
traumatising, and permanently damaging. Driven partly by
individuals' genuine concerns for the "mental health" of others,
and partly by institutions entangled with goals of power, profit,
and social control, psychiatric coercion is increasingly used to:
manage school children and the elderly, quell family conflicts,
police the streets, control people in shelters, community living,
and prisons, fraudulently increase hospital profits, "resolve"
workplace disagreements, detain protesters and discredit
whistleblowers. Thoroughly researched, with alarming true stories
and hard data from the US and Canada, Rob Wipond's Your Consent Is
Not Required builds an unassailable case for greater transparency,
vigilance, and change.
