'I welcome the initiative of the group of scholars, mental health practitioners, human rights experts and persons with disabilities that has led to the publication of Mental Health, Legal Capacity, and Human Rights. Only by working together, can we succeed. Building knowledge is the path to drawing the roadmap towards more just and inclusive societies.' António Guterres, United Nations Secretary-General (from the Foreword to the volume) '… the most useful book that has been published in recent times … offers a 'comprehensive, interdisciplinary analysis of legal capacity in the realm of mental health.' … readers from all backgrounds with an interest in these critically important issues will find themselves informed, stimulated and challenged in equal ways. Especially in the circumstances of the pandemic … the editors are to be congratulated on bringing together, and home, such an important work.' Alex Ruck Keene, Mental Capacity Law and Policy
