[The patient faced with the inescapable ruling of the liberty and detention judge].

Around a hundred of interviews have been carried out with patients hospitalised under restraint before and after their court case. The aim was to assess in particular the understanding of the law and the role of the liberties and detention judge, the experience of the hearing, the motives behind the refusals to appear and the impact of the notification of the ruling. To date, no patients have refused interviews during their hospital stay once they have emerged from the period of crisis.
