Special Issue of Behavioral Sciences and the Law: International Perspectives on Mandating Mental Health Treatment in the CommunityBEHAVIORAL SCIENCES AND THE LAW is planning a special issue on international perspectives on mandating mental health treatment in the community. The use of “leverage” to induce adherence to outpatient mental health treatment is a subject of clinical, legal and ethical debate in many countries. This special issue is intended to provide an international perspective on the manner in which various forms of mandated treatment are used today. The issue will be co-edited by John Petrila, J.D., LL.M. and John Monahan, Ph.D. Research papers, as well as papers addressing relevant legal, ethical and policy questions are welcomed. Papers may reflect either the experience of a single jurisdiction or multiple jurisdictions. Manuscripts should be approximately 20-30 pages, double spaced, and conform either to American Psychological Association format, or the Harvard Law Review Association’s Uniform System of Citation. Send manuscripts by email in Word to John Petrila at Petrila@fmhi.usf.edu. The deadline for submission is December 1, 2007. John Petrila, J.D., LL.M. |
