There is no national mental health law in Germany: the 16 German states are responsible for legislation concerning forced admissions, while the German Civil Code covers non-acute care, in particular for those not able to care for themselves. In forensic psychiatry, both federal and state laws apply. This article describes this situation and provides figures about detentions and other aspects of mental health law in Germany.
德国的16个州负责有关强制收治的立法,而《德国民法典》涵盖非急性护理,特别是针对那些无法自理的人。在法医精神病学方面,联邦和州法律均适用。本文描述了这种情况,并提供了德国关于拘留及心理健康法其他方面的相关数据。
