He focuses specifically on treatment of mental disorder without consent within psychiatric practice, and on the legal position which has allowed it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eTreatment Without Consent\u003c\/em\u003e examines many controversial areas: the use of high-strength drugs and Electro Convulsive Therapy, physical restraint and the vexed issue of the sterilisation of people with learning disabilities. Changing notions of consent are discussed, from the common perception that relatives are able to consent on behalf of the patient, to present-day statutory and common law rules, and recent Law Commission recommendations.\u003cbr\u003e This work brings a complex and intriguing area to life; it includes a table of legal sources and an extensive bibliography. It is essential reading for historians, lawyers and all those who are interested in the treatment of mental disorder.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Phil Fennell\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415077877\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415077873\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/21\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.94d","brand":"Phil Fennell","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48136042676479,"sku":"9780415077873","price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_888340e4-6e2b-4796-8d56-a1a19befc67d.jpg?v=1770160125","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/treatment-without-consent-phil-fennell-9780415077873","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
