Psychiatry stripped naked: Current human rights violations in psychiatry in Germany, Greece and the rest of the world
Abstract
Psychiatric human rights violations are commonplace: denial of milder means that would serve the same purpose; bodily harm through the administration of psychotropic drugs and electroshocks using formal physical or informal force. Competent support in their reduction and discontinuation and non-psychopharmacological and human rights oriented assistance for people, such as those provided by the Παρατηρητήριο για τα Δικαιώματα στο χώρο της ψυχικής Υγείας (Observatory for Human Rights in Mental Health in Thessaloniki), are in short supply.
