The aim of this paper is to outline the impact of Community Treatment Orders over a 20-year period on service delivery and clinical practice in Victoria.
Community Treatment Orders, as utilized in Victoria, have undermined optimal service delivery and supported paternalistic, reductionistic clinical practice. The psychiatric profession has failed to advocate adequately for better mental health resourcing and human rights protection of those subject to Community Treatment Orders.
本文旨在概述20年来社区治疗令对维多利亚州服务提供和临床实践的影响。
维多利亚州所采用的社区治疗令破坏了最佳服务提供,并支持家长式、简化论的临床实践。精神科专业未能充分倡导为社区治疗令的对象提供更好的心理健康资源和人权保护。
