Book Description
Mental disability has come of age as a subject of concern under the European Convention on Human Rights. It was only in 1979 that the first significant decision of the ECHR was decided on the subject, and after that, cases were relatively few for many years. It is only recently that this has begun to change. This volume provides an account of where the law currently stands and speculation as to how it may develop. The initial chapters deal with substantive aspects of Convention rights (including issues of detention in institutions, conditions within institutions, medical treatment, problems associated with guardianship and others). The final two chapters move to discuss the practicalities of litigation. The book concludes with a number of appendices (primarily the primary international legal materials of relevance to mental disability rights under the ECHR, and the relevant recommendations and principles from the Council of Europe). It is hoped that this volume, in addition to shedding light on where the law currently stands, will offer practical guidance to lawyers concerning the mechanics of representing people with mental disabilities.

Book Description
This book develops a legal argument as to how persons with intellectual disability can flourish in a liberal setting through the exercise of human rights, even though they are perceived as non-autonomous. Using Ronald Dworkin's theory of liberal equality, it argues that ethical individualism can be modified to accommodate persons with intellectual disability as equals in liberal theory. Current legal practices, the case law of the ECtHR on disability, the provisions of the UNCRPD and a comparative analysis of English and German law are discussed, as well as suggestions for positive measures for persons with intellectual disability. The book will interest academics, human rights activists and legal practitioners in the field of disability rights.

Book Description
This open access book explores how expertise about bipolar disorder is performed on American and French digital platforms by combining insights from STS, medical sociology and media studies. It addresses topical questions, including: How do different stakeholders engage with online technologies to perform expertise about bipolar disorder? How does the use of the internet for processes of knowledge evaluation and production allow for people diagnosed with bipolar disorder to reposition themselves in relation to medical professionals? How do cultural markers shape the online performance of expertise about bipolar disorder? And what individualizing or collectivity-generating effects does the internet have in relation to the performance of expertise? The book constitutes a critical and nuanced intervention into dominant discourses which approach the internet either as a quick technological fix or as a postmodern version of Pandora’s box, sowing distrust among people and threatening unified conceptualizations and organized forms of knowledge.

Book Description
Après l'explosion de mai 68, la remise en cause de la médicalisation des conflits de la vie quotidienne et le développement de l'antipsychiatrie, l'usage de la psychiatrie à des fins politiques fut dénoncé par de nombreux professionnels. Aujourd'hui, avec la construction de l'Europe, se posent avec une plus grande acuité la question du rapport au droit dans l'exercice psychiatrique et, par la suite, celles de la qualité de sujet de droit et de la citoyenneté du malade mental. Ces quinze dernières années ont d'ailleurs vu s'établir et se renforcer une jurisprudence européenne concernant les garanties juridiques apportées aux malades mentaux en matière de privation de liberté, d'accès aux soins, voire de soins contraints. Parallèlement, on a vu naître, s'affermir et se développer un mouvement européen de défense des droits des patients et usagers de la psychiatrie. Aussi, il paraît aujourd'hui nécessaire non seulement de réaliser une synthèse des principes à l'œuvre comme de la jurisprudence acquise, mais encore d'analyser un tel phénomène en le replaçant dans le débat d'idées de ces trente dernières années, pour permettre à tous de s'interroger sur l'évolution en marche et pour donner à chacun les moyens utiles à sa défense. Cet ouvrage met en évidence les fondements des principaux systèmes législatifs européens concernant l'hospitalisation, le traitement, la vie hors de l'hôpital, le suivi des malades mentaux, l'organisation générale du soin psychiatrique, dans leurs rapports, souvent complexes, avec le traitement de la dangerosité et le maintien de l'ordre public. Les auteurs, investis depuis plus de vingt ans dans la défense des droits des patients tant en France qu'au niveau international, livrent ici de nombreuses données inédites issues de la pratique, jusque-là peu connues même dans les milieux spécialisés. Ils entendent ainsi concourir au développement des droits de l'homme dans la construction politique de l'Europe.

Book Description
Recent years have seen important developments in the computer and game industry, including the emergence of the concept of serious games. It is hypothesized that tools such as games, virtual reality, or applications for smartphones may foster learning, enhance motivation, promote behavioral change, support psychotherapy, favor empowerment, and improve some cognitive functions. Computers and games may create supports for training or help people with cognitive, emotional, or behavioral change. Games take various formats, from board games to informatics to games with interactive rules of play. Similarly, computer tools may vary widely in format, from self-help or assisted computerized training to virtual reality or applications for smartphones. Some tools that may be helpful for mental health were specifically designed for that goal, whereas others were not. Gamification of computer-related products and games with a numeric format tend to reduce the gap between games and computers tools and increase the conceptual synergy in such fields. Games and computer design share an opportunity for creativity and innovation to help create, specifically design, and assess preventive or therapeutic tools. Computers and games share a design conception that allows innovative approaches to overcome barriers of the real world by creating their own rules. Yet, despite the potential interest in such tools to improve treatment of mental disorders and to help prevent them, the field remains understudied and information is under-disseminated in clinical practice. Some studies have shown, however, that there is potential interest and acceptability of tools that support various vehicles, rationales, objectives, and formats. These tools include traditional games (e.g., chess games), popular electronic games, board games, computer-based interventions specifically designed for psychotherapy or cognitive training, virtual reality, apps for smartphones, and so forth. Computers and games may offer a true opportunity to develop, assess, and disseminate new prevention and treatment tools for mental health and well-being. Currently, there is a strong need for state-of-the-art information to answer questions such as the following: Why develop such tools for mental health and well-being? What are the potential additions to traditional treatments? What are the best strategies or formats to improve the possible impact of these tools? Are such tools useful as a first treatment step? What is the potential of a hybrid model of care that combines traditional approaches with games and/or computers as tools? What games and applications have already been designed and studied? What is the evidence from previous studies? How can such tools be successfully designed for mental health and well-being? What is rewarding or attractive for patients in using such treatments? What are the worldwide developments in the field? Are some protocols under development? What are the barriers and challenges related to such developments? How can these tools be assessed, and how can the way that they work, and for whom, be measured? Are the potential benefits of such products specific, or can these additions be attributed to nonspecific factors? What are the users’ views on such tools? What are the possible links between such tools and social networks? Is there a gap between evidence-based results and market development? Are there any quality challenges? What future developments and studies are needed in the field?

Book Description
Reimagining Crisis Support aims to change the conversation about personal crisis from mental health discourse to one based in a social model of disability and human rights. Crisis support can be understood within a social model as support for making decisions and support to live independently in the community, as provided for in Articles 12 and 19 of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. Complementary to crisis support, we need community-led conflict resolution and violence prevention measures that are open to all sides of a story and sensitive to intersecting axes of oppression including disability-based discrimination?- a good fit with Articles 13 and 14 of the Convention. Policy should be developed based on these premises to replace involuntary commitment laws and coercive paternalism with a solidarity-based response to human needs and uphold the human rights of people with disabilities.
