How does the European Convention on Human Rights apply to people who suffer mental ill-health or are alleged to be affected by such a condition? The last few years have seen a raft of important judgments from Strasbourg concerning the rights of people with mental health issues.

This book provides a practical and critical analysis of obligations arising from the rights to life, freedom from inhuman or degrading treatment, liberty and security of the person, family and private life, and other ECHR rights. It considers the impact of human rights and mental health in the context of criminal law, family law and Court of Protection issues.

The authors give an article-by-article summary of the most important case law, as well as a thematic summary, drawing together issues relevant to practitioners specialising in mental health law as well as legal practitioners working in fields that require knowledge of Strasbourg jurisprudence on mental health including Court of Protection, family and criminal practitioners.

This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Family Law online service.

Reviews for European Court of Human Rights and Mental Health

This book is a very detailed analysis and explanation of human rights jurisprudence and how that affects the lives of people who are mentally disordered. They make up some of the most vulnerable people in society – and potentially include us all. Anyone can become unwell or need to support a colleague, friend or family member through their mental illness. Rights are important... [The] breadth and scope of this readable work is stunning... [The] interface between medicine and the law is always fascinating. This is an excellent and helpful book. -- David Pickup * Law Society Gazette *
