Abstract
Being subject to Section three of the mental health Act 1983 removes some rights taken for granted by members of today's society. Patients subject to this mental health Act may find it difficult to exercise the right of autonomy, and furthermore face many ethical dilemmas whilst under a mental health Section. This paper aims to identify and reflect on such a situation witnessed by a second year mental health student whilst on placement at an intensive support psychiatric unit.
It will analyze the legal and ethical dilemma, and relate theory to practice in the context of medical ethics. The principles of Autonomy, beneficence, and justice will be raised and a rational for these theories will be interpreted, based around the dilemma of treatment without consent.
