Colberg, Attorney General, Juneau, for Appellee. Before: Fabe, Chief Justice, Matthews, Eastaugh, Carpeneti, and Winfree, Justices. CARPENETI, Justice. I. INTRODUCTION A psychiatric patient committed to the Alaska Psychiatric Institute (API) challenges the superior court’s order approving API’s petition for involuntary administration of psychotropic drugs under AS 47.30.839. He alleges that the trial court violated due process guarantees and that it erred in its findings that API’s proposed treatment was in his best interests and that no less intrusive alternative was available. Because the patient was subsequently released without treatment, the case is technically moot, but we decide it because it falls within the public interest exception to the mootness doctrine. We conclude that, because the patient did not receive adequate notice of the nature of the proceedings and access to his medical chart, he was denied due process.

Oaks MindFreedom International, Eugene, OR, USA 12.1 Overview – coerced psychiatric procedures lead to an insurmountable power imbalance I personally experienced coerced psychiatric procedures in a variety of ways over a three-year period as a young adult. Because of what I perceived as my unjust and harmful mental health care, I felt passionately motivated to become a community organizer in the field of human rights in mental health. In my opinion, the coerced psychiatric procedures I was subjected to were significant violations of my human rights that profoundly traumatize me to this day.

I feel privileged, humbled and thankful to call many of these psychiatric survivors my lifetime friends and colleagues.

This collection of interviews and writings—bold, fearless, and compellingly readable—captures Madness Radio’s impor- tance and fierce independence, urging us to think differently and anew about the ‘thought disorders’ involved in illness and wellness, sanity and recovery.

Remarkable in scope, Outside Mental Health delves into autobiography, psychology, sociology, philosophy, and spirituality. Will Hall elevates the radio interview format into an art.” Robert Whitaker author of Anatomy of an Epidemic: Magic Bullets, Psychiatric Drugs, and the Astonishing Rise of Mental Illness in America “Will Hall’s gentle wisdom shines through in this diverse collection of inti- mate interviews.
