Extent and pattern of leverage use in community mental healthcare: an exploratory study from the UK
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background As psychiatric treatment shifts from the hospital to the community, policy debates have increasingly focused on the use of legal compulsion to mandate treatment in the community. In service provision, however, it is apparent that legal compulsion is just one form of leverage used to engage patients in community treatment. Research from the USA indicates that approximately half of communitybased patients have experienced some form of leverage. The aim of this study was to explore the extent to which leverage is used in the UK and to investigate whether leverage is applied differentially to patients receiving treatment from various mental health service teams.
