This paper considers the relationship between forensic psychology and international human rights standards (and about the relationship between mental disability law and such standards in general), especially in the contexts of the sorts of cases in which forensic psychologists are involved, the special issues in the context of nations with developing economies, and the relevance of international mental health norms. I conclude by focusing on the use of therapeutic jurisprudence as an interpretive tool, and offering suggestions as to how the practice of forensic psychologists can and should best incorporate international human rights standards and principles in their work. 相似文献
目的研究颅脑外伤致运动、感觉障碍相对合理准确的最佳鉴定时机。方法分别收集108例交通事故颅脑外伤患者伤后不同时间段(3、6、9、12、15、18月)的病史、影像学及电生理检查资料,并对患者家属进行随访调查,进行法医学检验,据此做出诊断并进行伤残等级评定;同时分别应用脑卒中残损评价表(Stroke Impairment Assessment Set,SIAS)、日常生活能力量表(Activity of Daily Living Scale,ADL)和Fugl-Meyer评定表(Fugl-Meyer assessment,FMA)对患者进行测验。结果SIAS、ADL、FMA对不同等级伤残及不同时间段区分良好,整体样本显示患者SIAS、ADL、FMA平均值9月至18月变化无差别,轻度伤残SIAS、ADL、FMA平均值6月至18月变化无差别,中度伤残SIAS、ADL、FMA平均值9月至18月变化无差别,重度伤残SIAS、ADL、FMA平均值12月至18月变化无差别。结论颅脑外伤所致运动、感觉障碍评残时机应在医疗终结以后,轻度伤残(7~10级)最佳评残时机为颅脑外伤后6个月,中度伤残(4~6级)评残时机以颅脑外伤后9个月为宜,重度伤残(1~3级)评残时机不应短于伤后12个月,视具体情况可以适当延后评残。 相似文献
Despite important gains in human rights, persons with disabilities — and in particular women and girls with disabilities — continue to experience significant inequalities in the areas of sexual, reproductive, and parenting rights. Persons with disabilities are sterilized at alarming rates; have decreased access to reproductive health care services and information; and experience denial of parenthood. Precipitating these inequities are substantial and instantiated stereotypes of persons with disabilities as either asexual or unable to engage in sexual or reproductive activities, and as incapable of performing parental duties. The article begins with an overview of sexual, reproductive, and parenting rights regarding persons with disabilities. Because most formal adjudications of these related rights have centered on the issue of sterilization, the article analyzes commonly presented rationales used to justify these procedures over time and across jurisdictions. Next, the article examines the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the attendant obligations of States Parties regarding rights to personal integrity, access to reproductive health care services and information, parenting, and the exercise of legal capacity. Finally, the article highlights fundamental and complex issues requiring future research and consideration. 相似文献
Background: Parents with intellectual disability and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander parents are overrepresented in child removal but research has not explored the intersection of Aboriginality and intellectual disability in child protection.
Methods: A case file review of 45 parents with intellectual disability (n = 14 Aboriginal and n = 31 non-Aboriginal) engaged in care proceedings in New South Wales was undertaken. Parent and child demographics and investigation triggers and outcomes were compared.
Results: Aboriginal parents were significantly younger than non-Aboriginal parents at initiation of an investigation, twice as likely to be investigated due to concerns about parenting capacity, and more likely to have children removed than non-Aboriginal parents.
Conclusion: The intersection of Aboriginality and intellectual disability appears to increase the risk of negative encounters with child protection systems. Targeted support for young Aboriginal parents and greater disability awareness and cultural sensitivity by child welfare workers are needed. 相似文献
