- Abstract (Swedish)
- Denna uppsats behandlar den rättighetsutvecklingen på den psykiatriska tvångsvårdens område från 1900-talets första hälft fram till idag. Det som undersöks är hur lagstiftningen på den psykiatriska tvångsvårdens område har förhållit sig till det svenska fri- och rättighetsskyddets framväxt.
De psykiatriska tvångsvårdslagar som undersöks är 1929 års sinnessjuklag, LSPV och nu gällande LPT. Mot bakgrund av dessa har även införandet av 1974 års RF samt Sveriges ratifikation och inkorporering av EKMR studerats.
Skyddet för individuella rättigheter har växt sig starkare, vilket har genomsyrat såväl rättighetsskyddet som den psykiatriska tvångsvården. Vidare har EKMR haft en betydelse för rättighetsskyddet vid psykiatrisk tvångsvård....

Skyddet för individuella rättigheter har växt sig starkare, vilket har genomsyrat såväl rättighetsskyddet som den psykiatriska tvångsvården. Vidare har EKMR haft en betydelse för rättighetsskyddet vid psykiatrisk tvångsvård. Innan inrättandet 1974 års RF fanns enbart 16 § i 1809 års RF, vilken inte gav något vidare rättighetsskydd. Under denna period fick istället EKMR en viktig roll och hänsyn togs till dess bestämmelser vid lagstiftningsarbetet.
Ett införande av fri- och rättigheter i grundlag diskuterades under arbetet med 1974 års RF. Den första versionen innehöll ett begränsat antal fri- och rättigheter. Detta arbete fortsatte sedan under resterande del av 1970-talet för att sedan resultera i de fri- och rättigheter som, med vissa förändringar, fortfarande är gällande idag. Utvecklingen med fri- och rättigheter i grundlag har fortsatt även in på 2000-talet.
Under 1900-talet har det även skett en del förändringar i lagstiftningen rörande den psykiatriska tvångsvården. År 1967 trädde LSPV i kraft med syftet att föra den psykiatriska vården närmre kroppssjukvården samt införa mer detaljerade bestämmelser för intagningsförfarandet. När LSPV 1992 ersattes av nu gällande LPT låg fokus istället på att minska tvånget i den psykiatriska vården och främja samarbete med patienten. Även på detta område har en fortsatt utveckling skett under 2000-talet, bl a genom införande av en ny vårdform: öppen psykiatrisk tvångsvård.
Sammanfattningsvis har det kunnat konstateras att i takt med att fri- och rättighetsskyddet växt fram i Sverige har även de patienter som är i behov av psykiatrisk tvångsvård fått ett ökat rättighetsskydd. (Less) - Abstract
- This paper discusses the development of the compulsary psychiatric care from the first half of the 20th century until today. What is being exmined is how the legislation on the field of the complusary psychiatric care has been related to the rise of human rights in Sweden.
The legislations that have been exmined is the law regarding mentally ill from 1929, LSPV and the law currently in practice, LPT. In light of this the insertion of The Instrument of Government (RF) from 1974 and Sweden’s ratification and incorporation of the ECHR have been analysed.
Individual rights have grown stronger, which permeates the rights protection as well as the compulsory psychiatric care. In addition to this the ECHR has meant a lot for the rights...

Individual rights have grown stronger, which permeates the rights protection as well as the compulsory psychiatric care. In addition to this the ECHR has meant a lot for the rights protection in the compulsory psychiatric care. Before the establishment of The Instrument of Government (RF) from 1974 the only legislation that protected human rights were 16 § in The Instrument of Government (RF) from 1809. This paragraph did not provide a satisfactory protection of the human rights. During this period ECHR played an important role for legislatory work and consideration were taken regarding its provisions.
During the work with The Instrument of Government (RF) from 1974 an adoption of human rights in the constitution was discussed. The first version of the constitution contained a limited number of legislations regarding human rights. The work then continued during the rest of the 1970s and resulted in the legislation we have today. Even into the 21st century alterations have been made to the human rights legislations which are featured in the constitution.
In addition to the human rights legislations the legislation regarding the compulsory psychiatric care has also seen changes during the 20th century. In 1967 LSPV became effective with purpose to bring the psychiatric care closer to the physical health care. Its purpose was also to adopt a more detailed regulation for the admission procedure. When LSPV was replaced by LPT in 1992 the focus was instead on reducing the number of people in the compulsory care and to promote voluntary care. This area has also seen development during the 21st century, for instance a new form of care called open psychiatric compulsory care.
Finally, it has been established that as the protection of freedom and rights has increased in Sweden the patients that need psychiatric compulsory care have also received increased protection of their rights. (Less)
