Mental Health, Legal Capacity, and Human Rights
Author: Michael Ashley Stein
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1108986382
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 451
Book Description
Since adoption of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the interpretive General Comment 1, the topic of legal capacity in mental health settings has generated considerable debate in disciplines ranging from law and psychiatry to public health and public policy. With over 180 countries having ratified the Convention, the shifts required in law and clinical practice need to be informed by interdisciplinary and contextually relevant research as well as the views of stakeholders. With an equal emphasis on the Global North and Global South, this volume offers a comprehensive, interdisciplinary analysis of legal capacity in the realm of mental health. Integrating rigorous academic research with perspectives from people with psychosocial disabilities and their caregivers, the authors provide a holistic overview of pertinent issues and suggest avenues for reform.

Publisher: Elaine Levine
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 407
Book Description
Valle de Lágrimas, the Valley of Tears, is a Colombian hell hole Merc hoped never to see again. Having survived years of rebel wars and illegal cartel activity, it faces a new and worse threat, an enemy long known to the Legion: the Omni World Order. Merc’s job—and that of all Legionnaires—is to protect humans from Omni mutants, not each other. But Merc doesn’t do rules, and the chaos he unleashes takes on a life of its own, making it impossible to throttle down. Ashlyn DeWinter is excited about her trip to Colombia. Valle de Lágrimas keeps popping up in her research, but her friends warn her it isn’t safe for tourists. Something about the village draws her nonetheless. Her visit comes in the wake of an unusual man’s time there—a man who did terrible and wonderful things to protect the village. A man whose energy she hungers for, though she hasn’t met him and likely never will. A man like that couldn’t possibly exist—could he? A better question is—how does she find him when the only name she has for him is his odd nickname: Merc?
