This comprehensive book offers a critical analysis of mental health law and practice in China, particularly focusing on involuntary detention and treatment. It delves into China's mental health law reform in the context of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), examining the treatment decision-making process under the new legal framework. Through a socio-legal approach, the book conducts a thorough desk-based analysis of the reforms introduced by China's Mental Health Law (MHL) and assesses their implementation based on evidence from practice. Its primary objective is to investigate whether China's first national MHL aligns with the requirements of the CRPD regarding mental health treatment decision-making, and if not, to identify the reasons behind this discrepancy.
The book is of immense interest to professionals and scholars working in the fields of mental health law and policy, medical law and disability, human rights law, and Asian Studies. It provides valuable insights into the challenges and opportunities faced by China in ensuring the rights and well-being of individuals with mental disabilities, and offers valuable recommendations for improving the legal and policy framework in this area.
The book is organized into five chapters, each exploring different aspects of mental health law and practice in China. Chapter 1 provides an introduction to the legal framework and the historical background of mental health law in China. Chapter 2 examines the concept of involuntary detention and treatment in China, highlighting the legal and ethical considerations involved. Chapter 3 explores the reform of mental health law in China, focusing on the introduction of the MHL and its provisions regarding treatment decision-making. Chapter 4 examines the implementation of the MHL in practice, drawing on evidence from case studies and interviews with stakeholders. Chapter 5 concludes by discussing the challenges and opportunities for further reform in mental health law and practice in China.
Overall, this book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the mental health law and practice in China, particularly in the context of the CRPD. It offers a comprehensive and insightful analysis of the current state of affairs, and provides valuable insights into the steps that can be taken to improve the rights and well-being of individuals with mental disabilities in the country.
