Resisting variables – service user/survivor perspectives on researching coercion

چکیده
Coercion in psychiatry and the fight against forced treatment are two of the main topics in the mental health service user/psychiatric survivor movement worldwide.

Without aiming to provide a systematic or complete review, in the first part of the text we take a closer look at several psychiatric studies on coercion, and discuss their overall approaches and the methodologies applied.
