The aim of this article is to examine the impact of some of the major European institutions on mental health law and policy formation, with a view to establishing whether or not the European 'project' has made a difference in protecting individuals with mental disorders from interference or neglect by national governments. The discussion is divided into two parts: first, the role of Europe in protecting the human rights of people with mental disorders through the work of the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR); and second, the role of Europe in ensuring standards of mental health care through the work of the European Commission (EC) and the European Parliament (EP).

Reports on the findings of a cross-country comparison of cooperation between services for community mental health and child protection in 11 states. The authors consider the implications of the findings for English practice. The cross-country comparisons demonstrate the ways in which differences in structures, resources, expectations and attitudes affect professional responses and the experiences of families. A comparison of commonalities and differences highlights the problems that are shared across countries, and alternative ways of responding to them at ground level. The factors that facilitate a good outcome are analysed in relation to English practice and service structures. Highlights the implications of the findings for policy and practice.
