Mental health law reform: Advance towards enlightenment or denial of reality?

Abstract

In the field of human affairs, curiosity prompts us to seek a panoramic view in order to gain a vision of reality that will make it as intelligible as possible for a human mind … A panoramic view will at any rate be a less misleading reflection of reality than a partial view.
