New Zealand has an established history of mental health legislation that sits within a framework of human rights, disability and constitutional protections. We outline a brief history of mental health legislation in New Zealand since its inception as a modern state in 1840. The current legislation, the Mental Health (Compulsory Assessment and Treatment) Act 1992, defines mental disorder and the threshold for compulsory treatment. We describe its use in clinical practice and the wider legal and constitutional context which psychiatrists need to be aware of in their relationships with patients.
新西兰拥有完善的精神卫生立法历史，该立法置于人权、残疾和宪法保护的框架之内。我们概述了自1840年成为现代国家以来新西兰精神卫生立法的简要历史。现行立法《1992年精神卫生（强制评估和治疗）法》对精神障碍和强制治疗的门槛进行了定义。我们描述了其在临床实践中的应用，以及精神科医生在与患者的关系中需要了解的更广泛的法律和宪法背景。
