- This 140,000-word monograph is the culmination of nearly a decade’s research. It draws upon a vast range of sources from law, policy, social theory, history, psychiatry and medicine to substantiate its claim that reforms to mental health law defy easy categorisation within the rubrics of existing theoretical frameworks. The book represents work of considerable depth and proposes a new explanatory model, ‘New Medicalism’, which expands the vocabulary of mental health lawyers and articulates the mechanics of the Mental Health Act.
