{"title":"Against Coercion in Community Mental Health Services","authors":"Anthony J. O'Brien","doi":"10.1111/jpm.70021","DOIUrl":"10.1111/jpm.70021","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;p&gt;In 2018, the New Zealand Government accepted a recommendation from a national inquiry into mental health and addiction to repeal and replace the country's mental health legislation, the Mental Health (Compulsory Assessment and Treatment) Act (1992) (The Act) New Zealand Government (&lt;span&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;). The Act was widely considered to be out of step with international human rights standards and current practice in mental health. Developed in the era of deinstitutionalisation, the Act helped to facilitate the closure of stand-alone psychiatric hospitals through the creation of community treatment orders (CTOs). It also introduced procedural protections in the process of civil commitment (Dawson and Gledhill &lt;span&gt;2013&lt;/span&gt;). A phenomenological definition of “mental disorder” was introduced, meaning that any one of a specified list of changes in mental functioning, rather than psychiatric diagnosis, became the clinical criterion for compulsory treatment. Medical practitioners were no longer the sole group of clinicians involved in making decisions. Nurses became involved in the committal process through the statutory role of a duly authorised officer (Street and Walsh &lt;span&gt;1998&lt;/span&gt;) and later as responsible clinicians (McKenna et al. &lt;span&gt;2006&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;An unintended consequence of New Zealand's adoption of CTOs was that numbers of people placed under CTOs grew rapidly under the new legislation. By 2013, New Zealand had one of the world's highest rates of CTOs (O'Brien &lt;span&gt;2014&lt;/span&gt;). That high rate of CTO usage has continued over the past decade (Lees et al. &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;). Not only are rates of CTO use very high, they are used disproportionately with New Zealand's indigenous Māori population (Ministry of Health &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;). They are also more likely to be used in geographical regions of high social deprivation (O'Brien et al. &lt;span&gt;2012&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Reform, therefore, appeared to offer an opportunity to utilise the lever of legislation to promote greater equity and decrease the overall use of compulsion in mental health services. A Ministry of Health discussion document (Ministry of Health &lt;span&gt;2021&lt;/span&gt;) set the tone of high expectations for reform. Optimistically titled “&lt;i&gt;Transforming our Mental Health Law&lt;/i&gt;”, the document declared the aspirational goals of reducing the use of compulsion, reducing inequities, and introducing a Te Ao Māori worldview in the operation of mental health legislation. Perhaps such lofty ideals were always going to lead to disappointment. In this editorial, I focus on one aspect of the new legislation, the use of compulsory community treatment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;After a long process of consultation, submissions from the public and advice from an expert committee, the Mental Health Bill (Bill) emerged in 2024. The Bill is now wending its way through the process of select committee submissions, political negotiations and redrafting towards adoption in late 2027 (New Zealand Government &lt;span&gt;2025","PeriodicalId":50076,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Psychiatric and Mental Health Nursing","volume":"32 5","pages":"1259-1261"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-08-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jpm.70021","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144856841","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
