Abstract

The first chapter is a systematic review exploring the factors associated with coercion in those who are involuntarily admitted to hospital. Those with psychosis, aggression and poor global functioning were some of the factors associated with a higher likelihood of experiencing coercion. The second chapter outlines an empirical research study exploring the experience of being detained under Section 136 of the Mental Health Act (1983, 2007) using Critical Incident Technique (Flanagan 1954, Butterfield, Borgen Maglio & Edmunson, 2009). The importance of meaningful human relationships was found to underpin many of the critical incidents. The third and final chapter is a public domain briefing document which provides a concise and accessible summary of both the systematic review and the empirical research study.
