“…Moreover, the evaluation framework for the efficacy of treatment methods does not apply only to drug treatment therapies; for example, drawing on the 'roadmap for mental health research in Europe initiative (ROAMER) work package 5', Wittchen et al [8] consider that an improved future research agenda for psychological therapies in mental health should embrace a "Science of Behaviour". Thus, despite psychological approaches drawing on the social sciences and more social forms of research, Wittchen et al [8] Despite these rights, many service users believe that their human rights have been set aside [9], and, in actuality, they have perceived mental health care to be degrading and inhumane [10,11] as care is often implemented in adherence to treatments derived from the biomedical approach [1,31] without reference to other treatment models.…”

“…Moreover, some people with psychiatric illness do not believe they are mentally ill or are concerned about becoming addicted to the medication (Jarrett et al, 2008). Kinderman and Tai (2008) discussed arguments against involuntary medication. They purported that it is inherently wrong to force people to do something against their will, and that coercion pushes people away from the mental health field in addition to causing distrust of it.…”

Forensic examiners frequently conduct evaluations with individuals who may be regarded as dangerous. To manage this situation, forensic examiners may prefer examinees to wear restraints. Available literature indicates that the use of restraints may be both physically and psychologically detrimental and thus possibly both reduces the yield and limits the utility of psychological test data. Although there is a lack of research addressing this concern, one must use the available information to inform the decision on utilization of restraints during forensic evaluations. In addition, professional ethics, test standards and norms, the reported adverse effects of restraints on both psychiatric patients and inmates, and the concept of forced medication are reviewed to help assess the appropriateness of restraints during forensic evaluations. This analysis provides forensic examiners with insight and recommendations to determine if the use of restraints is best practice during forensic evaluations, particularly within the United States.

“…One has to conduct a thorough assessment of a person before such a drastic measure as stripping someone's basic human right of self-determination is considered. Table 1 summarizes the arguments about forced medication; these arguments are modified from research conducted by Kinderman and Tai (2008) regarding compulsory treatment.…”

There are multiple concerns regarding the practice of forced medication of clients with mental illness. Clients often report that side effects outweigh the benefits of psychotropic medication, while mental health clinicians often think the client may become dangerous without medication. Who should have the right to decide whether a client takes medication? Nursing plays an integral role in the decision making by considering alternative therapies and current research, addressing the diversity among our clients, and ensuring comprehensive assessments. This article presents circumstances that may lead to forced medication and explores beliefs of clients, mental health clinicians, and mental health advocacy groups.Building upon Johns' (2008) model for structured reflections of clinical experiences, this article reflects upon the experience of forced medication in psychiatric nursing practice. First, the process and consequences of forced medication are explored. Next, the factors influencing the thoughts and responses of psychiatric clinicians, clients, and advocacy groups is discussed. Finally, possible alternative actions are presented.
