Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present a focused viewpoint of coercion in psychiatry from the perspective of a survivor and activist. Design/methodology/approach – This paper takes elements from and builds on three recent conference and seminar presentations presented in France and the UK in 2014: International Congress on Clinical Ethics Consultation 2014, Paris: Comité Européen Droit Ethique et Psychiatrie, June 2014, Perpignan and Royal College of Psychiatrists’ Annual Congress, London 2014. Findings – Coercion in psychiatry runs counter to the highest human rights standards, rules out genuine care and profoundly undermines trust. Research limitations/implications – Additional research from a user and survivor experience would offer a different and more grounded perspective of how coercion is actually exerted and experienced through, for instance, a narrative approach. Originality/value – The paper is proposed from the viewpoint of a survivor of psychiatry and human rights activist. It is a contribution towards a more user/survivor oriented discourse in this area
