Informal coercion towards discharge: The entanglement of formal and informal coercion in social resource introduction
Informal coercion towards discharge was a structurally embedded practice linked to formal coercion. Two forms of informal coercion were identified: extra-legally constructed medical authority and informal legal transplantation. Reducing informal coercion requires limiting formal coercion, clarifying discharge criteria in law, and expanding non-coercive social resources.
