Welcome to the book launch of a new anthology on compulsory care!
Compulsory care is a widely debated issue, but how is it regulated in Sweden? And what improvements are needed? These are the questions explored by researchers with expertise in various fields of compulsory care in a new anthology. Welcome to the book launch (in Swedish) at the Uppsala University Main Building on 27 March!
The new anthology, Tvång på gott och ont – En forskningsantologi om tvång i välfärden, explores the use of compulsory care in Swedish healthcare and welfare services, covering psychiatry, somatic care, addiction treatment, forensic psychiatry, and criminal justice. Written by 28 researchers from various disciplines, the book examines the legal, ethical, and practical aspects of coercion, highlighting the need for clearer regulations and better quality control.
The book launch will take place at Uppsala University Main Building on March 27, where the editors and some of the authors will discuss key issues. Please note that the event will be in Swedish.
