So... What's the solution in these cases? An entry test for performers/ managers/ shooters? Who writes it? Who determines what an acceptable level of "mental stablility" gets the passing grade?

What I think or what the Dworkin's think is irrelevant. The only ones whose opinions matter are the models themselves. If they feel overly coerced, repeatedly, then it's wrong. A contract lawyer would have a field day with that in a contract dispute case.
The solution is for models to inform each other, and the entire industry in extreme or repeat offender cases. It's far easier these days than in the past, where it had to be more or less word of mouth. Had blogs, etc. been as prevalent at the time of Julie's encounter with Max, and had she posted about it, how many models would have refused to work for him, or at least made sure they had the option to get up and walk out to their own car and leave?
