商品簡介
This interesting volume on the forcible treatment of mental illness examines the system surrounding the Canadian practice of Community Treatment Orders, a judicially imposed program for treating psychosis in lieu of prison sentencing. The author of the study is a former patient who has been forcibly treated, and in filtering his research through his personal experience, brings a unique perspective to questions of efficacy, and harmful side effects of medical treatment without consent.
