Abstract

An initial look into the past is necessary to gather together the threads which have been intertwined to form the new Mental Health Act and the setting in which it will operate.Throughout the history of mental health legislation the aims have been to provide hospitals or other institutions for the mentally dis- ordered, to provide some system of public supervision over the standards of care in such institutions, to legislate for the con- ditions under which patients can be compulsorily detained, and to protect the sane against unwarranted detention.
