Civil Commitment: A Therapeutic Jurisprudence ModelThe issues explored include the tension between coercion and autonomy reflected in commitment laws and how the balance should be struck between these competing values, the standards for commitment, the commitment hearing and how lawyers, judges, and expert witnesses should play their roles, voluntary hospitalization and its application, rights within the institution and the standards governing their exercise or waiver, outpatient commitment, including its newest version, preventive outpatient commitment, and how international human rights limitations on commitment should be construed. The book concludes with a chapter analyzing therapeutic jurisprudence's challenge to civil commitment law and practice."--BOOK JACKET. |
