摘要

《2024年精神卫生法》旨在修订与爱尔兰共和国精神健康中心非自愿接纳、拘留和治疗“精神障碍”患者有关的条款。本文批判性地分析了《2024年精神健康法案》下与智力残疾者最相关的建议。它特别审查了从“精神障碍”的定义中删除“严重智力残疾”的建议,以及禁止仅以智力残疾为理由对一个人进行非自愿拘留的建议。它探讨了这些建议背后的原因,并确定了拟议改革可能产生的潜在差距和挑战,包括对患有共同发生的精神疾病的PWID患者仍然存在的问题;由于缺乏替代和适当的措施和服务,表现出具有挑战性行为但未被指控犯罪的PWID可能会被输送到刑事司法系统;以及受《2006年刑法(精神错乱)法》约束的智障人士可能存在的矛盾。

The Mental Health Bill 2024 in the Republic of Ireland: Potential implications for adults with intellectual disabilities
The Mental Health Bill 2024 aims to amend provisions relating to involuntary admission, detention, and treatment of persons with ‘mental disorder’ in mental health centres in the Republic of Ireland. This article critically analyses proposals under the Mental Health Bill 2024 which are most relevant to persons with intellectual disabilities (PWID). In particular, it examines the proposals to remove “significant intellectual disability” from the definition of “mental disorder”, and to prohibit the involuntary detention of a person solely on the basis that they have an intellectual disability. It explores the reasoning behind these proposals and identifies potential gaps and challenges which may be created by the proposed reforms, including the issues which remain for PWID who have co-occurring mental illness; the possibility that PWID who exhibit challenging behaviour – but who are not accused of a crime – may be funnelled into the criminal justice system due to a lack of alternative and appropriate measures and services; and possible contradictions which may exist for persons with intellectual disabilities subject to the Criminal Law (Insanity) Act 2006.

期刊介绍: The International Journal of Law and Psychiatry is intended to provide a multi-disciplinary forum for the exchange of ideas and information among professionals concerned with the interface of law and psychiatry. There is a growing awareness of the need for exploring the fundamental goals of both the legal and psychiatric systems and the social implications of their interaction. The journal seeks to enhance understanding and cooperation in the field through the varied approaches represented, not only by law and psychiatry, but also by the social sciences and related disciplines.
