Is Coercion in Psychiatry Avoidable?


Abstract

Incarceration and coercion have no place in psychiatry. All people enjoy equally civil and human rights as reflected in the Convention of Rights for People with Disabilities and its interpretation. This article argues that one goal for the service survivor movement and allies should be to eliminate all non-consensual measures against people in the Psy system.
