    Abstract:
    The author summarizes current law and trends affecting the right of psychiatric patients to refuse or consent to treatment. The discussion addresses the key principles involved: autonomy and inviolability of the person. Relevant provincial mental health legislation in effect at the time of writing is briefly reviewed. Finally, the possible impact of the new Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is discussed.
