This chapter interrogates how “reasonableness,” capacity, and risk are operationalised to justify coercion or discharge. I show how administrative rationality misreads survival logic as pathology, and how capacity tests can erase context. Policy and practice reforms are proposed across four levels: structural funding and flexibility; cultural change in language and training; policy shifts from readiness to relational entry; and practitioner craft focused on listening, holding, and responding. The question is not whether people are reasonable, but whether systems are reasonable to the lives they claim to serve.

摘要

This chapter interrogates how “reasonableness,” capacity, and risk are operationalised to justify coercion or discharge. I show how administrative rationality misreads survival logic as pathology, and how capacity tests can erase context. Policy and practice reforms are proposed across four levels: structural funding and flexibility; cultural change in language and training; policy shifts from readiness to relational entry; and practitioner craft focused on listening, holding, and responding. The question is not whether people are reasonable, but whether systems are reasonable to the lives they claim to serve.
