Considerații bioetice ale coerciției în sănătatea mintală. Cadru teoretic pentru o decizie clinică responsabilă

Abstract

Respecting the rights of people with mental disorders is one of the most sensitive challenges facing contemporary health systems. Throughout history, these people have often been marginalized, stigmatized and subjected to intrusive or degrading medical practices, under the guise of „treatment” or „social protection”. Although advances in the field of mental health and human rights have led to significant reforms, the risk of harming the freedom, autonomy or dignity of these patients persists, especially in situations where coercive measures are used.
