Controversies in Psychiatry

Contentious issues in institutional psychiatry tend to fall in 3 main areas:
(1) Forced drugging
(2) Aggressive treatments such as shock treatment and psychosurgery
(3) Involuntary detention
Currently there are a few links to sites covering some of these issues, but eventually there will be a few articles as well. This is just a start. Local information (Melbourne, Australia.)
