Lovgivning om forsorg for psykisk syge

NY OG OPDATERET 2022 UDGAVE Anstalt og menneske må betragtes som et af tidens hovedværker inden for den sociologiske analyse af livet i den totale institutions lukkede verden, således som vi kender den fra f.eks. fængsler, kaserner, skibe, kostskoler, klostre, alderdomshjem, opdragelseshjem m.m. Anstalt som menneske skildrer, hvad disse institutioner »får ud af« klienterne, og hvad klienterne »får ud af« tilværelsen inden for murene – på godt og ondt, måske navnlig det sidste… Opmærksomheden rettes i særlig grad mod statshospitalet med udgangspunkt i forfatterens studier i marken gennem 1 år som medarbejder ved et stort amerikansk statshospital. Erwing Goffman fremlægger i bogen den hovedtese, at den mest betydningsfulde faktor i den sindslidende patients udvikling under opholdet ikke så meget er hans sygdom, men selve institutionen og alt, hvad den indebærer. Anstalt og menneske har derfor bud til enhver, som er beskæftiget – eller anbragt – i disse institutioner, samt til alle, der ønsker at vide besked med en af vort samfunds skyggesider.Bogen er senest udkommet i 14 oplag i oktober i en opdateret udgave.

"A powerful and passionate indictment of the use of psychiatric testimony in criminal cases." -The Cleveland Plain DealerA year after Richard Herrin confessed to killing his girlfriend, Bonnie Garland, he was found not guilty of murder. His crime, he pleaded, was committed "under extreme emotional disturbance," excusing him from maximum responsibility. He was convicted on the reduced charge of manslaughter.In this incisive examination of the murder, the trial, and its aftermath, a distinguished psychiatrist addresses the issue of the insanity defense. He shows how psychiatric testimony can distort court proceedings, and brilliantly analyzes the conflict between the individual rights of the accused and society's right to justice.

Bei der Behandlung schizophrener Patienten mit Fremdgefährdungspotential für Dritte stehen Behandelnde medizinisch und rechtlich oft im Spannungsfeld kollidierender Interessen und Grundrechte. Durch das Symptom der Fremdaggressivität tritt in der Psychiatrie neben den originär ärztlichen, an den Interessen des Patienten ausgerichteten Heilauftrag eine Verantwortung der Behandelnden auch gegenüber gefährdeten Dritten. Die Autorin zeigt unter Berücksichtigung der Besonderheiten der Behandlung schizophrener Patienten insbesondere mit Blick auf Unsicherheiten in der Diagnostik auf, unter welchen Voraussetzungen Behandelnde bei Verletzung ärztlicher Sorgfaltspflichten unter Berücksichtigung deren Schutzzwecke für drittschädigendes Patientenverhalten haften.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU HAD THE TIME TO THINK ABOUT YOUR LIFE?I grew up fairly simply during the 1970s and there have been many changes around me, since then-it can be overwhelming at times, but I kept up!This book is primarily, for the person who grew up in the 2000's and who do not understand what life was like before Smartphones, Netflix and TikTok memes took over their brain space.I see the advantages of both eras-things were slower when I grew up and I had the chance to meditate on my life; however, I had less knowledge about what others my age were doing in the World-it was a bit lonely.This book is part autobiography/Memoire, journal-with blank pages and mystery/short story - I wish that you will take the time to search inside yourself and accomplish your dreams, one page at a time...Thanks for reading and for sharing your thoughts. We all need to support each other during these trying times. Be careful to watch your Mental Health, eat right, exercise, and share your feelings with the ones you love --be safe! ¿ Paula Ann Stewart ¿

This collection brings together leading international socio-legal and medico-legal scholars to explore the dilemma of how to support legal capacity in theory and practice. Traditionally, decisions for persons found to lack capacity are made by others, generally without reference to the person, and this applies especially to those with cognitive and psycho-social disabilities. This book examines the difficulties in establishing effective and deliverable supported decision-making, concluding that approaches to capacity need to be informed by a grounded understanding of how it operates in 'real life' contexts. The book focuses on the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), which recognises the equal right to legal capacity of people with disabilities and requires States Parties to provide support for the exercise of this right. However, 10 years after the CRPD came into force, the shift to legal frameworks for supported decision-making remains at best only partial.With 16 chapters written by contributors from the UK, Canada, Finland, India, Ireland, Spain, Sweden, and Turkey, the collection takes a comparative and interdisciplinary approach. Many of the contributors have been directly involved in law reform processes in their home jurisdictions, and thus can combine both academic expertise and practical, grounded awareness of the challenges of legal change.

In the early morning hours of September 13, 1920, a tragic murder takes place at the Pulchalski farmhouse in Southington, Ohio. 12-year-old Stanley desperately runs along a dusty country road sent by his frantic mother to fetch the Sheriff. An infamous scandal unfolds over the next several weeks taking Stanley and his siblings on a harrowing journey through a notorious orphanage in Warren Ohio and an incredible attempt to escape. Finding true love is Stanley's only hope to finally come to terms with the torment of his tragic past. The story is based on true events in the life of Stanley William Miller. It inspires the heart on how a young man's devotion to his family pushes him beyond impossible odds and testifies to the perseverance of the human spirit. A murder mystery. An infamous scandal. A beautiful love story.Editorial ReviewsHeartfelt Story of Tragedy, Hardship, but most of all LoveHeart of Steel is one of those books that leaves you an emotional mess after you turn the final page. This heartfelt story is written by the grandson of Stanley Puchalski/Miller and what a story it is. Kevin Miller pulls out all the stops and pulls no punches when telling it like it must have happened. Told with heartfelt love of siblings and their mother, he writes as if he were walking in their footsteps and we are walking with him. I was captivated by the detail and how he set each scene. Raw, gritty and at times a bit bloody, I could not put it down until I reached the very last page. And at that last page, I had tears in my eyes. This is a book for the ages and it leaves one wondering just how many similar stories might be ferreted out if one were to just ask the right questions and look in the right closets. Read Heart of Steel - you won't be disappointed.-The Author Show - Linda ThompsonIn this novel based on his family's history, Miller writes about his grandfather in a dramatic, vivid manner and a shifting third-person perspective. The author offers readers a fast-paced, cinematic tale that covers Stanley's travails-which include changing his last name to Miller at the age of 13 and working in a Chicago steel mill-rather than a sober, minutiae-filled biography.-Kirkus ReviewsOne day, author Kevin Miller discovered that his last name wasn't Miller at all; it was Pulchalski. His grandfather, Stanley Pulchalski, changed his name in an attempt to reinvent himself after a family tragedy. Heart of Steel will take you back to the early morning hours of September 13, 1920, when events were set into motion that would reverberate into the present. At once a murder mystery, family drama, and sweeping romance, this book based on a true story is well worth the read.-Early Bird Books, MacKenzie StuartHeart of Steel is the true story of Stanley Miller and it is hard to find a more realistic tale that will touch you deeply. Kevin D. Miller has written of abuse, murder, prohibition, life on the farm, pain, suffering and joy with so much heart and feeling. I felt as though I was sharing a story with a friend and felt all of Stanley's emotional ups and downs with him. I cried, I laughed, I worried and I couldn't stop reading Heart of Steel because it is just a really good book. Heart of Steel covers so many genres and is good reading for the young, the old, male and female - just about everyone should read this book.-Reader's Favorites Book Reviews, Trudi LoPretoWhat results is an empowering narrative with very relatable characters and the full gamut of human emotions on display. Overall, Heart of Steel lives up to its strong, emotive title, and is certainly recommended for fans of historical family sagas and true to life tales of triumph over adversity.-Reader's Favorite Book Reviews, K.C.

Master's Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject Law - Criminal process, Criminology, Law Enforcement, grade: 7,5, Maastricht University, language: English, abstract: The main objective of this thesis is to provide an elaborate analysis of the current situation regarding legal frameworks, when it comes to the interrogation of mentally ill suspects in the EU.The thesis presents a qualitative research, which is predominantly based on the technique of desk research, resulting in an extended literature review. The significance of this thesis lays within an extensive observation from both psychological and judicial, as well as from an international and national point of view. Based on the application of named method and topics, the thesis eventually answers the central thesis question: "How are the problems that mentally ill suspects encounter within the context of interrogations during the criminal procedure legally regulated in various national (UK and Germany) and international (EU and ECHR) legal frameworks?"The high prevalence of people with mental health conditions in the criminal justice system is a longstanding concern of various institutions and authorities. Reason for this is that mental illnesses can interfere inter alia with the demand characteristics of interrogations in the context of criminal proceedings, such as understanding the consequences of provided answers, and hence negatively influence their results.
