Judicial discharge of involuntary patients.

G B Leong1, J A Silva, C A Leong.   

Abstract

Involuntarily hospitalized patients oftentimes request judicial review of their commitments. Many psychiatrists believe that such judicial review results in the discharge of too many of these patients. We attempted to assess this hypothesis as well as identify which patients receive judicial discharge.
