  • Summary

    This chapter looks at ethical and medico-legal aspects of eating disorder treatment. Legal frameworks for involuntary treatment of this illness may be needed when risks are high and capacity is lacking. The reader is also introduced briefly to some of the different legal frameworks present in England, Northern Ireland, and Scotland. We mention eating disorder legislation in the United States. Ethical aspects of care are also discussed and should provoke thoughtfulness no matter what part of the world the clinician is working in.
