Kay Wilson, "Mental Health Law: Abolish Or Reform?" (Oxford UP, 2021)
b'The debate about whether mental health law should be abolished or reformed is one that is\\xa0highly charged and to which there are no easy solutions. In\\xa0Mental Health Law:\\xa0Abolish Or Reform?\\xa0(Oxford\\xa0UP, 2021), Dr Kay Wilson does not shy away from these controversial debates. Examining the work that dignity can do, she makes the case for an holistic interpretation of the\\xa0Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.\\xa0In thinking about mental health\\xa0reform, she\\xa0provides a core framework which may guide support and intervention\\xa0in a way that compels respect for the dignity of the person. This book makes an important contribution to the literature. Its nuanced approach and fearlessness in delving into the hard issues should be required reading for policy makers, lawyers and mental health practitioners.\\xa0\\n\\xa0Dr Kay Wilson\\xa0is a postdoctoral fellow at the convenor of The Disability Law Network at Melbourne Law School, University of Melbourne. She is also a co-editor of\\xa0The Future of Mental Health, Disability and Criminal Law,\\xa0(Routledge, 2023).\\xa0\\n\\ufeffJane Richards is a Lecturer in Law at York Law School, UK.\\nLearn more about your ad choices.
