Mental Health Nursing, Nov/Dec 2000
The government is to press ahead with plans to introduce detention for dangerous people with severe personality disorder. The move was confirmed in its response to the House of Commons Select Committee on Health's recent report on mental health.
The select committee said it was concerned at the use of what could be described as a "quasi-medical" definition, which runs the risk of being highly stigmatising for the many people suffering from personality disorder who are not judged by anyone to be dangerous.
