In 1999 New York enacted Kendra's Law, in memory of Kendra Webdale, a young woman who was pushed to her death in front of an oncoming train by a man with untreated schizophrenia. Under Kendra's Law a court can order a person with a mental illness to participate in an "assisted outpatient treatment" (AOT) program. Kendra's Law includes a number of procedural due process protections including the right to a hearing and the right to counsel. Still critics argue that people with mental illnesses are routinely ordered to participate in the AOT program based on no more than "a bare recital of the s

Abstract:

In 1963, President John F. Kennedy signed the Mental Retardation and Community Mental Health Centers Construction Act, establishing the beginnings of deinstitutionalization in the United States. By some counts, this Act was a stupendous policy success—by others, a dismal failure. 50 years later, no cohesive national mental health care policy has emerged to deal with increased rates of mental illness among the homeless and the incarcerated. However, California has made enormous strides to create a state policy which provides adequate services to the mildly, moderately, and severely mentally ill

Abstract:

This study focuses on the way in which rapid structural changes (such as economic development, urbanisation and other demographic factors, and the economic crisis of 1997) have raised issues that are seen to require a social policy response in the mental health care arena under Confucian governance in South Korea. These structural changes happened over a couple of hundred years in Western Europe but have taken place over only the past 40 years in Korea. The main thrust of the study is on the extent to which the decisions about policy responses to perceived social problems, especially the incre

Does Australia have the robust system of accountability for mental health? Is it possible to discern the impact of care and drive quality improvement through effective benchmarking? Can

Abstract:

A substantial gap exists between those who are considered experts on mental health (e.g., academics, mental health professionals) and those in charge of constructing mental health policies (e.g., legislators, Senators). This gap is in areas of both knowledge and professional relations. Mental health professionals are not adequately trained to engage in policy advocacy and reform efforts and have little to no policy advocacy training (Smith, Reynolds, & Rovnak, 2009). Policymakers lack necessary knowledge related to mental health for effective mental health policy construction (Corrigan, Druss,

Abstract:

This thesis explores in which ways and why research informs and influences the public policy making process, and the extent to which existing theories and models add to our understanding of this. Since the late 1990s, the UK government has aspired to evidence-based policy making, particularly policy that is informed by research on what works. In practice, there are many barriers to this aspiration and the instrumental research use of 'what works' knowledge seems relatively rare. Existing research utilisation models offer some insights into why this is the case but they are not well supported b

This thesis examines the role of risk in framing confinement and spatial control in contemporary mental health policy. It argues that geographers’ focus on ‘post-asylum’ geographies has meant that the continued role of confinement in mental health has not been sufficiently examined. While deinstitutionalisation resulted in a change to the spatial configuration of care for people with mental illness it did not mean that confinement of people with mental illness ceased. Indeed, as the thesis shows, there has been a renewed emphasis on confinement in a number of jurisdictions. The thesis argues t
