Review # 1 was written on 2010-06-15 00:00:00 Scott Mcmurrain P109 - Our response to mental disorder is prompted both by concern about the plight of fellow human beings and by a desire to control behaviour judged to be dangerous or antisocial. OK. Who would like to go first? p143 - Similar complicating factors exist for other civil confinements. The study of Soothill et al of compulsory admissions in Birmingham and Lancaster show well over half as originating in the home. While this study is not restricted to black patients, it does serve as a reminder that doctors are not the only actors in the system. One would imagine. Chapter 5 - The process of civil confinement - 5.2.2. Who is admitted? So, the Lunacy Regulation (Ireland) act of 1871 appears to remain on the statute book. It reads: 'Where the alleged lunatic demands an inquiry before a jury the Lord Chancellor intrusted as aforesaid shall in his order for inquiry direct such inquiry to be sped before a jury, unless he be satisfied by personal examination of the alleged lunatic that he is not mentally competent to form and express a wish for an inquiry before a jury ; and the Lord Chancellor intrusted as aforesaid may, where he shall deem it necessary, after presentation of the petition for inquiry, or the order to be made upon any report as aforesaid, and for the purpose of personal examination, require the alleged lunatic to attend him at such convenient time and place as he may appoint.' To what extent does this accurately reflect current policy and practice? Some of the overtones might lean towards well, we are us, over here and we do what we do, and with respect to the thing, over there, we get away with the indefensible stuff because we did not think it would survive. p201 - We should not forget that it is only, and precisely, the construction of the mentally disordered as 'other' that allows the imposition of legal controls that do not apply to other sections of the community, and the mentally disordered as such are similarly situated alongside the 'criminal other' by any world view that divides society into the normal and the deviant. Ergo, what? pp201-2 - The para beginning Despite this... :-o p254 - the restriction order is one of the best examples of the legal institutionalisation of a hierarchy of concerns that places control above treatment. Who would like to go first? p299 - In Pountney v Griffiths - to what extent does the implied argument lean towards we're-us-over-here-and-we-will-beat-the-living-daylights-out-of-whomsoever-we-choose-in-a-manner-of-our-choosing-whenever-we-like? On page 314, the convention against torture, and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment appears to be alluded to: to what extent is its content not front and centre of policy and practice deliberations? To the extent that the we, amongst us, over here, consider this text to be relevant, how might its content be appraised in a subsequent edition? What else may be significant in this context? pp343-4 - so, which arrangements are available to address concerns arising from the we, amongst us, over here holding #thethingoverthere in inverted commas in seclusion or solitary confinement? p367 - The powers given to the Secretary of State provide an example of the limitation of medical power and clinical discretion concerning restricted patients, with the implicit message that the clinical gaze fails to consider appropriately all factors relevant to the discharge of presumptively dangerous patients. Who would like to go first? p397 - On hearing an application for discharge from a non-restricted patient, an MHRT has various options open to it. So, what arrangements are available to explore options around good choices amongst reasonable alternatives safely? What else appears to be significant in this context? p411 - to what extent is - A conditional discharge may be deferred to allow such arrangements to be made as the tribunal feels are necessary: s.73(7) - meaningful, or otherwise provides enabling cover for institutional clock-running? pp414-9 - 8.5.2.3 - Discharge of restricted patients subject to restriction directions. Who would like to go first? pp437-8 9.2.1 - Community care planning. So, when the Affordable Care Act legislation was being drafted and argued in the United States, one of the early questions to come up was whether it would be worth going for a universal, single payer system similar to the one in the United Kingdom. The objections came back that this would not be preferable in numerous constituencies because there was a widespread perception that the English run a National Death Service. What is available to rebut an argument along those lines? p469 - It is in itself noteworthy that those seeking access to services have used the mechanism of judicial review with such frequency, because this tells the tale of the paucity of other remedies. - What else appears to be significant in this context? p506 - It might be possible to say that all persons of a certain status are to be deemed incompetent. Who would like to go first? p511 - Doctors are by no means the only culprits here, however. While courts do not, at least officially, judge capacity simple on the objective reasonableness of the individual's choice, there is precedent for the application of different standards of capacity, depending on the decision reached by the allegedly incompetent person. Who would like to go first? pp518-26 - 10.4 - Capacity in context - so, the discussion in this section is concerned with the capacity of patients to be able to make decisions based on tests assessing the understanding of information, appreciation and reasoning. Before conditions develop to the extent that decision making capacities are weighed up, to what extent is it clear in the field which factors drive a reduction in the capacity to enjoy a decent quality of life? p543 - The law of incapacity creates roles of authority and dependence, discipline and control, power and subordination[;] themes running through the remainder of this book. What else may be significant in this context? Are there new factors presenting since this edition went to print (2007) that should be taken into account and addressed formally? P545 - The concerns with the research aspects of [the mental capacity act white paper] seemed to have been based [on] a squeamishness regarding research on people lacking capacity. Who would like to go first? If research into disabling conditions is to be pursued, much of it will need to be done on individuals lacking capacity. Who would like to go first? p549 - The paragraph beginning - The provisions of the [mental capacity] Act require that any research done on people lacking capacity concerns the impairing condition or its treatment. Who would like to go first?
