In contemporary China, people diagnosed with serious mental illnesses have long been placed under the guardianship of close relatives who decide on their hospitalization and treatment. Despite attempts at reforms to ensure patient rights, the 2013 Mental Health Law reinforced the family's rights and responsibilities. In Between Families and Institutions, Zhiying Ma examines how ideological, institutional, and technological processes shape families' complicated involvement in psychiatric care. Drawing on extensive ethnographic fieldwork in psychiatric hospitals, community mental health teams, social work centers, and family support groups as well as interviews with policymakers and activists, Ma maps the workings of what she calls "biopolitical paternalism"--a mode of governance that sees vulnerable individuals as sources of risk, frames risk management as the state's paternalistic intervention, and shifts responsibilities for care and management onto families. Ma outlines the ethical tensions, intimate vulnerabilities in households, and health disparities across the population that biopolitical paternalism produces. By exploring these implications, Ma demonstrates the myriad ways biopower enables, inhibits, and transforms medical care in China. Learn more about your ad choices.

The CRPD challenges traditional mental health legislation by emphasising the respect for inherent dignity, legal capacity, liberty and physical and mental integrity of persons with disabilities on an equal basis with others. The application of CRPD in mental health care requires a realistic and balanced interpretation of the CRPD as well as education and training of clinical staff in human rights framework.Prof Neeraj Gill and Dr Ava Carter will outline the contemporary human rights framework. They examine civil and political rights, including involuntary psychiatric treatment and coercive interventions, along with economic, social and cultural rights.

A new mental health bill in Ireland is expected to be the largest overhaul of the State's mental health laws in decades. Mental Health Reform groups have warned that the current legislation is at odds with international human rights standards. The new legislation would strengthen regulation around people consenting to the type of treatment they receive. It is also expected to regulate Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) as the majority of mental health services in Ireland currently fall outside the scope of regulation set out under the 2021 Act. Andrew McGinley, whose children Conor, nine, Darragh, seven, and three-year-old Carla died at the hands of their mother, joined Andrea on Lunchtime Live today to discuss why it doesn't go far enough...

The debate about whether mental health law should be abolished or reformed is one that is highly charged and to which there are no easy solutions. In Mental Health Law: Abolish Or Reform? (Oxford UP, 2021), Dr Kay Wilson does not shy away from these controversial debates. Examining the work that dignity can do, she makes the case for an holistic interpretation of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. In thinking about mental health reform, she provides a core framework which may guide support and intervention in a way that compels respect for the dignity of the person. This book makes an important contribution to the literature. Its nuanced approach and fearlessness in delving into the hard issues should be required reading for policy makers, lawyers and mental health practitioners. Dr Kay Wilson is a postdoctoral fellow at the convenor of The Disability Law Network at Melbourne Law School, University of Melbourne. She is also a co-editor of The Future of Mental Health, Disability and Criminal Law, (Routledge, 2023). Jane Richards is a Lecturer in Law at York Law School, UK. Learn more about your ad choices.

We have the most permissive euthanasia laws in the world and it's not something we should be proud of. Individuals with disabilities are wanting to acquire medically assisted death as opposed to getting the supports that our government has promised, because those supports just don't exist.

This week the books are 'Proof of Spiritual Phenomena: A Neuroscientist's Discovery of the Ineffable Mysteries of the Universe' by Mona Sobhani and ‘YOU -The Public Deceived: The Grand UFO Deception' by Philip Kinsella.Mona Sobhani • Shares data and meta-analysis from a large volume of extremely sophisticated experiments that provide proof for the existence of psi phenomena• Explores evidence of past lives, intuitive knowing, and other spiritual phenomena• Reveals the author's own inexplicable experiences as well as her conversations with scientific colleagues, high-level experts, and government officialsFully indoctrinated into the cult of science, neuroscientist Mona Sobhani, Ph.D., aggressively defended the dogma of scientific beliefs--until a series of life-altering events caused her to reconsider spirituality and psi concepts and launched her into a two-year investigation into the ineffable mysteries of our world.Sharing the extensive research she discovered on past lives, karma, and the complex interactions of mind and matter, the author details her transformation from diehard materialist to open-minded spiritual seeker. She reveals her conversations about spirituality and anomalous occurrences with scientific colleagues as well as high-level experts and government officials who shared data on extremely sophisticated experiments that provided proof for the existence of psi phenomena. She discovered that psi research has been conducted on a grand scale for more than a century--by hundreds of scientists with hundreds of thousands of participants--and that there exists substantial evidence for the reality of psi. She examines meta-analysis of these experiments, such as that of the Ganzfield tests, which showed odds against chance of 12 billion to 1--throwing our current scientific materialist paradigm into question.Providing a deep dive into the literature of psychology, quantum physics, neuroscience, philosophy, and esoteric texts, Sobhani also explores the relationship between psi phenomena, the transcendence of space and time, and spirituality. Culminating with the author's serious reckoning with one of the foundational principles of neuroscience--scientific materialism--this illuminating book shows that the mysteries of human experience go far beyond what the present scientific paradigm can comprehend.BioMona Sobhani, Ph.D., is a cognitive neuroscientist.

UFOs are real and not some figment of the public's imagination which we have been led to believe. This deception has gone on for far too long, and it's time we, the public deceived, fight back.Philip Kinsella brings together several theoretical applications concerning what the UFO phenomenon may represent. Exploring his own ‘alien abduction' which occurred in the winter of 1989, and examining both old and new cases alike, he draws upon several conclusions as to what we may be up against. He informs us that we are dealing with ‘something' which appears to operate on a higher level of conscious awareness, and that a certain species known as the ‘Greys' has given us a variety of clues as to what they are, along with their modus operandi. He also informs us that the media-machine has deliberately orchestrated this coverup to dumb down the masses in an effort to falsify the UFO phenomenon. Our human history, Genesis and sole purpose as humans has been deliberately tampered with by nameless, faceless bureaucrats whose time is running out.We, the public, have a right to the truth. The evidence presented within this book clearly demonstrates that the phenomenon at hand is more complexed than we first imagined. Therefore, a new perspective within our awareness might answer some truly, extraordinary claims.We are NOT alone – never have been. The war for TRUTH is as stronger now that it's ever been before, and Philip believes that the ‘Greys' offer us clues as to not only their reality, but ours also.Philip Kinsella is an Author, a UFO researcher, an abduction experiencer. He is a psychic medium and clairvoyant. He co-hosts a radio show with his twin on the Paranormal UK Radio Network, called ‘TWIN SOULS,' which is broadcast monthly. https://www.amazon.com/YOU-PUBLIC-DECEIVED-Grand-Deception-ebook/dp/B08PS7SFRQ/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1663319650&sr=8-1https://www.thekinsellatwins.com/https://www.facebook.com/Philipkinsella11https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/pastlivespodcasthttps://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcast

Once a self-described hard-nosed neuroscientist, Dr. Mona Sobhani aggressively defended the dogma of scientific beliefs--until a series of life-altering events caused her to reconsider spirituality and psi concepts and launched her into a two-year investigation into the ineffable mysteries of our world. This eventually led to her recently published book, "Proof of Spiritual Phenomena: A Neuroscientist's Discovery of the Ineffable Mysteries of the Universe." In this episode, I speak with Dr. Sobhani about her journey from "knowing" how the world works (or at least thinking so), to being thrust into a state of "not knowing" (a Dark Night of the Soul) and the process of re-discovery, finding new ways of understanding both herself and the world. We touch on the role of "identity" and "belief" in science, at both the individual and societal level; the surprisingly robust research on phenomena like psi, telepathy, collective consciousness, and other often-dismissed experiences; the dark night of the soul; the tension between "knowing" and "not knowing"; and much more. Mona Sobhani, Ph.D. is a cognitive neuroscientist, researcher, and author. A former research scientist a the University of Southern California, she holds a doctorate in neuroscience from the University of Southern California and completed a post-doctoral fellowship at Vanderbilt University with the MacArthur Foundation Law and Neuroscience Project.

Soumitra Pathare trained as a psychiatrist at Seth G S Medical College & KEM Hospital Mumbai and St Thomas' Hospital, London. He has a doctoral degree from VU University, Amsterdam and is a Member of The Royal College of Psychiatrists, United Kingdom. Dr. Pathare is based in Pune, India and is the director of the Centre for Mental Health Law and Policy at the Indian Law Society. His main area of work concentrates on mental health policy, legislation and human rights. Soumitra has worked as a consultant to many countries reforming their mental health policies and laws. As will be described in this interview, Dr. Pathare has been affiliated with the World Health Organization's commitment to equip and train mental health practitioners throughout the world about the importance of human rights.In this interview, Dr. Pathare will help to make the distinction between “civil or constitutional rights” and “human rights.” In essence, human rights are those afforded all people. They are universal and inviolable and not dependent upon the country in which you live. He will walk us through the establishment of the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights in 1948 and how, over the decades, there have been “elaborations” of that initial effort to focus on particular human needs (e.g., rights of children, rights of women, elimination of racism and discrimination, etc.). It was only recently (2006), that the UN promoted the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) which is a landmark human rights treaty among countries around the world to protect the fundamental rights of all persons with disabilities.The World Health Organization (WHO) has created global initiative, called Quality Rights to transform the way mental health care is delivered and to change attitudes toward people with psychosocial, intellectual, and cognitive disabilities. Their goal is to have all the countries in the world implement QR by 2030, but the US hasn't even ratified the CPRD. Dr. Pathare will talk about how Quality Rights represents a movement away from a bio-medical approach to mental illness to a recovery approach which values the ability of people to make choices. Further it is a movement away from a definition of wellness that is defined by “symptom reduction” toward the ability to fully participate in community.
