- wahern 3y ago> The Supreme Court decisions of the early 1970s on mental health were well intentioned but disastrous. Those decisions still left much room for coerced treatment, so it's not clear how disastrous they were. Most if not all states and cities ended up with additional legislation, caselaw, and normative policies that made coerced treatment (including outpatient treatment) much more difficult.
