Introduction

In 2007 the Mental Health Act in England and Wales was amended and the definition of Mental Disorder was broadened. This change affected people with Personality Disorders who now can be admitted for hospital treatment without consent, often for prolonged period of time.

Objectives

This poster reviews patients’ attitudes towards the new legislation and its consequences and also presents the research on the different perspectives about the new law.

Aims

To review patients’ attitudes with regard to interfaces between Personality Disorders and the new law.

Methods

Use of the specifically designed questionnaire for patients with Borderline Personality Disorders hospitalized under Mental Health Act. MEDLINE and PsycINFO databases were also searched for all English-language articles published between 2008 and 2012 containing the keywords “Personality Disorder”, “Mental Health Act” and “patients’ view on compulsory treatment”. Additional key articles published before 2008 were reviewed. The most relevant articles were selected for review.

Results and conclusions

There is still no common consensus in regard to the benefit of compulsory hospital admission of persons with Borderline Personality Disorders. Results from questionnaires are under review.
