PATIENT EXPERIENCES OF COERCION IN MENTAL HEALTHCARE: SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND METASUMMARY OF QUALITATIVE STUDIES FROM 1991 TO 2025.
— STAFF
It gives the reader a defensible map of what three decades of qualitative evidence actually says about coercion, including that positive and mixed accounts are present in over half the studies rather than being rare exceptions, which tempers the assumption that patient experience of coercion is uniformly negative. It changes no obligation and no evaluative method, so its value is as a reference and argument base for commitment, CTO and restraint policy rather than for individual casework.
