Mental Health Law in China, 1st Edition by Bo Chen

Clear, authoritative, and timely — this essential volume illuminates the evolving landscape of mental health law in China. Ideal for legal practitioners, clinicians, policymakers, and international scholars, Bo Chen offers a rigorous yet accessible guide to the legal frameworks shaping mental-health care across the People’s Republic of China.

Start with a concise overview of national legislation and its practical application, then move into in-depth discussions on patient rights, informed consent, confidentiality, involuntary treatment, and forensic psychiatric procedures. Drawing on statutory analysis, case studies, and policy trends, the book explains how law intersects with clinical practice, public health administration, and human-rights obligations in China’s unique legal environment.

Readers will find practical value in chapters that translate complex legal concepts into actionable guidance for hospitals, courts, and regulatory bodies. Comparative commentary situates China’s approach alongside international standards, making this a vital resource for cross-border practitioners, educators, and NGOs working on mental health reform.

Why this book matters: it decodes regulatory nuance, strengthens compliance, and supports better outcomes for patients and institutions navigating China’s mental-health system. Clear language, structured guidance, and real-world examples make it both a reference and a roadmap for reform.
