Abstract

This roundtable will address dilemmas in applying
the Law on the Protection of Persons with Mental
Disorders in everyday practice. It will problematize
the differing interpretations of civil and forensic
involuntary admission, and raise the issue
of the placement of remand prisoners. As amendments
to the Law on the Protection of Persons
with Mental Disorders are being prepared, the
discussion will focus on the upcoming changes
and their implications for psychiatric practice.
The round table will provide an interdisciplinary
perspective, including psychiatric-medical, legal,
and patient viewpoints.
