Behind the book

Author Notes may contain spoilers

There is a long history of using psychiatric patients for human experimentation. The practices that were common in the past are less so now. Many are not considered horrific and unethical.

But that doesn’t mean that experimentation (both legal and illegal) has been done away with, and there are problems with protocols not being followed, unethical experimenteres, and harm being done to patients.

Many jurisdictions have statutes in place with regard to the reporting of deaths of psychiatric patients or those recently released from psychiatric care (a group at high risk for suicide or supposedly accidental death). However, it is apparent that these statutes are often overlooked or ignored, and there are few stats available to classify and quantify the deaths of psychiatric patients.

Psychiatric patients are among the most vulnerable in our population and deserve our rigorous attention and protection.
