- Title
L'expertise psychiatrique des efforts raisonnablement exigibles.
- Authors
FERREIRA, CRISTINA
- Abstract
In Switzerland, psychiatrists asked to assess the fitness for work of disability insurance benefit applicants have been repeatedly criticized. Challenges to the quality of their assessment reports have led to something akin to a professionalization of assessment, in a context where psychological disability has become a public health problem and is the subject of increasing judicial control. Doctors directly involved in this process are divided on the fairest ways to conduct assessments and, more importantly, on the consequences of a policy that undermines the social rights of mental health patients. This paper is based on an analysis of their writings and a legal case.
