Description

This text explores and reflects upon the debate over law relating to mental disorder and the mentally disordered. Much of the debate has been focused on the tension between public protection and individual civil rights, since much of its impetus has derived from "notorious" homicides in the community and been directed towards calls for a "community treatment order". This book examines the nature of mental illness and its impacts on legal capacity, juxtaposing constructs which arise out of profoundly differing disciplines. It concludes that the contribution of mental health legislation is both marginal and marginalized, and it seeks to set an agenda for radical law reform by recognizing that questions may, at this stage, be more valuable than providing hasty answers. Many of the chapters deal with the "Bournewood" decision in the House of Lords.
