“…Communist psychiatry, apart from being a form of political repression, was characterized as centralized in its policymaking, Pavlovian and anti-Freudian, occupationally therapeutic, and isolated from the Western community of psychiatrists (Raikhel & Bemme, 2016). However, the Russian system of public health has significantly changed since those times (Kolpakova, 2019;Morozov, 2018;Neznanov & Vasileva, 2015;Polubinskaya, 2000). Despite this, the historical memory of this period has not disappeared and still underlies some clinical practices (Raikhel & Bemme, 2016) and explains public anti-psychiatric attitudes in Russia (Poloshij & Saposhnikova, 2001).…”

“…The analysis that we carry out in this article is methodologically novel and therefore valuable for judiciarization research. In addition, our paper adds to the literature on the development of the Russian psychiatric system because, compared to previous papers on this topic, for example Kolpakova (2019), Morozov (2018), and Neznanov and Vasileva (2015), we examine the formal features of the production of legal documents in the historical context and analyze how people with poor mental health are treated at the textual level (linguistically). Investigating only one aspect of the legal discourse on mental health leads to an incomplete view and unreliable conclusions about the way the Russian legal system treats people with mental illness.…”

The judiciarization of the psychiatric subject is a two-sided process. It could antidiscriminate people with mental illnesses but, at the same time, it could potentially provoke pathologization of mental illnesses. Current methodologies proposed to measure this important and complicated process for people with mental illnesses do not allow analysis on multiple levels (the macro, meso, and micro). In this article, to fill this gap we propose a methodological strategy that helps to investigate judiciarization of people with mental illnesses on multiple levels at once. This approach is based on critical discourse analysis of legal documents and court decisions that feature people with the poor mental health. Namely, we suggest how to measure the level or degree of judiciarization, its geographical evenness, actors in the legal process, its dimensions (the law branches of its occurrence), and linguistic content. We applied this methodology in examining 1,243 legal documents and 327,311 court decisions that were issued by agents of the Russian law system. The research findings show that judiciarization levels in Russia have been rising over the years, moving away from stigmatizing those with mental illnesses and towards anti-discrimination. Our paper could be of interest to socio-legal researchers and social policy practitioners.

A dependência química é uma questão complexa, que motiva várias discussões, entre as quais destacam-se as alternativas terapêuticas, notadamente as modalidades contra a vontade do paciente hospitalização involuntária e compulsória. O objetivo deste estudo foi estudar e comparar abordagens e leis sobre hospitalização involuntária como tratamento para dependentes de drogas em diferentes países do mundo. Foi realizada pesquisa bibliográfica eletrônica nas bases de dados MEDLINE, PubMed, SciELO e LILACS entre os anos de 2008 e 2018. Foram considerados artigos nas línguas inglesa, espanhola e portuguesa que abordavam hospitalização psiquiátrica involuntária ou compulsória, além de terem sido colhidos dados sobre a legislação do país em questão, quando disponíveis. Foram encontrados 76 artigos, dos quais 53 foram selecionados. As regiões abrangidas pela pesquisa incluíram Europa (Itália, Noruega, Inglaterra, Portugal e Grécia), América (Canadá, Estados Unidos da América, Jamaica, Barbados, Chile e Brasil), Ásia (Rússia, China, Índia e Paquistão), Oceania (Austrália e Nova Zelândia) e África (África do Sul). Foi encontrada uma tendência mundial de aprovar leis que resguardem direitos dos pacientes. A decisão sobre a internação involuntária ou compulsória é de um profissional médico na maioria dos países estudados, além de serem necessários dois profissionais dessa categoria na tomada de decisão. O tratamento psiquiátrico involuntário ainda gera muitas discussões, apesar dos avanços nas legislações mais modernas nos diversos países estudados. Há uma tendência jurídica de reforçar a necessidade de avaliar o risco que o indivíduo oferece aos outros ou a si próprio para justificar a hospitalização. O Brasil seguiu essa tendência estabelecendo três modalidades de hospitalização e priorizando o tratamento voluntário em uma interlocução entre os campos da saúde e do direito.
