Thesis (Psy.D.)--The Wright Institute, 2003.

In the late 1990s, several California counties developed mental health courts in order to divert the growing number of non-violent, severely mentally ill offenders away from jails and prisons and into mental health treatment in the community. While these programs have been met with great enthusiasm among supporters seeking to reduce the "criminalization" of chronically and severely mentally ill individuals, some experts have expressed concern about the way in which diversion programs, such as mental health courts, rely upon legal leverage to enforce mental health treatment. This critical review of the literature examines some of the psycho-legal complexities that emerge in this new configuration of mental health and criminal justice agencies. The use of coercive tactics in the mental health treatment component of the mental health court system will be considered in light of some of the sociological, economic and cultural changes that have laid the foundation for mental health courts in California.
