Tranquil prisons : chemical incarceration under community treatment 
orders / Erick Fabris
Imprint Toronto ; Buffalo : University of Toronto Press, c2011

"A brave and innovative book, Tranquil Prisons is a rare academic 
study of psychiatric treatment written by a former mental patient. 
Erick Fabris's original, multidisciplinary research demonstrates how 
clients are pre-emptively put on chemical agents despite the 
possibility of alternatives. Because of this practice, patients often 
become dependent on psychiatric drugs that restrict movement and 
communication to incarcerate the body rather than heal it. Putting 
forth calls for professional accountability and more therapy choices 
for patients, Fabris's narrative is both accessible and 
eye-opening."--pub. desc "
