Mental Health
This guidebook examines how major decisions by U.S. courts have helped to shape the issue of mental illness. A major case is explained, then majority and dissenting opinions are shared. Legal experts and other professionals then provide details on the case’s lasting impact. Chapter one is about whether parents can commit children to mental institutions without their consent. Chapter two covers forcible medication practices. Chapter three defines the rights of institutionalized patients. Chapter four covers the right to live and receive treatment while being a part of the community.
