The components of good community care for people with severe mental illnesses: views of stakeholders in five European countries.

Researchers and practitioners collaborated in a project across five European countries aimed at defining the characteristics of good community care for people with severe mental illnesses and to explore the values ofstakeholders in this debate (clients, families, professionals, policy makers, other citizens). In a concept mapping procedure all stakeholders gave highest priority to a trusting and stimulating relationship between clients and professionals. Secondly, good care was seen as effective treatment tailored to the individual needs. Accessibility of services came in the third place. Differences between the views of stakeholders are discussed.

Patient capacity in mental health care: legal overview.

The discriminatory effects of categorizing psychiatric patients into competent and incompetent, have urged lawyers, philosophers and health care professionals to seek a functional approach to capacity assessment. Dutch and English law have produced some guidelines concerning this issue. So far, most legal systems under investigation have concentrated on alternatives for informed consent by the patient in case of mental incapacity, notably substitute decision-making, intervention of a judge and advance directives. It is hard to judge the way in which the law may further adapt to a more functional assessment of capacity, because the nature of law shows that legal reforms usually take place only when new methods have been accepted by the field. This is not yet the case today.
