The authors examine the emergency commitment process in one Oregon county and present data that document the impact of a local detention facility. The study reconfirms the dependence of commitment processes on the mental health system in which they occur, illustrates the relative inability of specific laws to determine the actual nature of commitment processes, provides support for the concept of community care for the people involved, and points to the need for additional research to clarify the effects of commitment procedures.
作者们考察了俄勒冈州一个县的紧急收治程序，并呈现了记录当地拘留设施影响的数据。该研究再次证实了收治程序对其所处心理健康系统的依赖，说明了特定法律在确定收治程序实际性质方面相对无能为力，为相关人员的社区护理理念提供了支持，并指出需要进行更多研究以阐明收治程序的影响。
