This paper reexamines the ethical unease inherent in these psychiatric practices through the lens of patient objectification and investigates the conditions under which such objectification may be justified. Within feminist theory, objectification has been analysed as a multifaceted phenomenon encompassing at least ten aspects, including: instrumentality, denial of autonomy, inertness, fungibility, violability, ownership, denial of subjectivity, reduction to body, reduction to appearance, and silencing. Building on this framework, this paper examines objectification in medicine more generally by distinguishing four domains: decision-making, therapeutic intervention, information gathering, and the psychological defence of medical staff. Psychiatry likewise involves patient objectification across these domains. However, because the symptoms of mental disorder extend into capacities central to agency\u2014namely beliefs, emotions, and actions\u2014psychiatric objectification stands in especially strong tension with respect for persons. Nevertheless, it cannot be regarded as uniformly impermissible. Mental disorders can impair the capacities that underpin personhood, and psychiatry aims at treating such impairments. Objectification can therefore be justified when it is undertaken for the patient\u2019s benefit, supported by sufficient justification, and restricted to the minimum necessary extent.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s11673-026-10600-5","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,18]],"date-time":"2026-08-18T13:21:51Z","timestamp":1787059311000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Patient Objectification in Psychiatry"],"prefix":"10.1007","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6392-8450","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eisuke","family":"Sakakibara","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"10600_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Agledahl, K.M., P.
