In this “Student Voices” episode of Proof Over Precedent, HLS student Aarushi Solanki discusses involuntary commitment laws for psychiatric patients in Massachusetts. Instead of protecting patient rights, the process of holding separate commitment and treatment hearings winds up denying patients access to timely treatment. A look at global leaders in procedural and substantive mental health reforms could help guide changes in Massachusetts’ legal standards and processes.
