Abstract
Having rejected the abolition of mental health law in Chapters 4 to 7, Chapter 8 explores the possibility of the reform of mental health law. It explains the Mental Capacity with Support and Support Except Where There is Harm models. It applies the interpretive compass of inherent dignity (including autonomy), equality, and participation to both models and compares them to the Abolition with Support model. It argues in favour of the Mental Capacity with Support model as being compatible with the CRPD (despite the contrary arguments from abolitionists) and more transparent than Abolition with Support. It proposes improvements to the Mental Capacity with Support model. It discusses wider reforms to the mental health system, social reforms, and how reform is possible without abolishing mental health law first.
