This book explores the implications of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) for law, policy and practice that respond to the complex issues raised by mental health impairment and disability. It argues that the support framework of the CRPD holds the potential to address persistent shortcomings in mental health law and policy.
