Description

A rigorously researched analysis of the legal issues raised by involuntary mental health treatment. Winik (law, U. of Miami School of Law) ranks various treatment techniques by levels of intrusiveness, discusses the constitutional and legal limitations on governmentally imposed, involuntary mental health and correctional treatment, offers studies in when such treatment might be justified in terms of a therapeutic appropriateness principle and a least restrictive alternative principle, and analyzes issues related to the evaluation and implementation of the right to refuse mental health treatment.
