Coercion in psychiatric care: clinical, legal, and ethical controversies

Abstract: Despite a long-standing tradition of the use of coercion in psychiatric care, such as involuntary admission and treatment, few have systematically addressed this issue. In recent years, more research has been carried out, suggesting that the use of coercion has important and complex legal, ethical, and clinical implications. In the present article, types and rates of coercion are presented and central topics including competency, ethics, and the reasons given for the use of coercion, are critically discussed.

“…Dans un premier temps, l'utilisation de mesures coercitives présente un dilemme éthique dans la mesure où elle brime l'autonomie du patient (Bloch & Green, 2006;Katsakou & Priebe, 2007;O'Brien & Golding, 2003;Prinsen & van Delden, 2009;Wynn, 2006). Comme le consentement du patient n'est pas requis en situation d'urgence, soit lorsque la sécurité du patient ou d'autrui est menacée (OIIO, 2009), la majeure partie des interventions restrictives se déroulent dans un contexte où les droits du patient -c'est-à-dire autonomie, liberté de choix, consentement éclairé -se heurtent aux principes de liberté d'autrui et de non-malfaisance.…”
