- Summary:
-
"This book reviews mental health policies across the world and their relationship to the human rights of mentally disordered people. Ten case-studies are presented, each written by an expert in the field of mental health policy within a selected country. What is recorded is a tangle of approaches, some coherent, consistent and caring, whilst others are ambiguous, anachronistic and abusive. What is concluded is the need for vigilance and activism on a global scale to protect the human rights of this particularly vulnerable group." -- Book Jacket.
