If perfunctory, insincere & frustrating interventions are represented as therapy, it will not be many years before people will think they have ‘tried therapy’ & found it wanting. They are unlikely to think about trying it again —Nancy McWilliams Written 1999. Now it has happened

This Court of Protection case involved CLOSED hearings (family were excluded + not told they were taking place) & COVERT MEDICATION (she refused meds so care home put them in her food).

My new blog post with @GeorgeMKeynes on judicial error. An expensive , time-consuming error with a court injunction that had to be corrected by members of the public. Not a good look for #openjustice openjusticecourtofprotection.org/2024/08/22/pro…

Reflecting on Rachel Braverman’s words at the Trauma Informed Lawyering event last night. “The whole system is sick.” The family court is hugely triggering and however well trained we are as practitioners, most hearings are like walking your client into a burning building. 😔

"Not all men" - but so many men helped Gisele Pelicot's husband: The 73 men who came to her house and raped her. The 3 men who left - and didn't call the police. The thousands of men who saw the ads on the website - and didn't call the police. theguardian.com/world/article/…
