Some assumptions that guided the national task force in developing the Guidelines for Involuntary Civil Commitment are identified and discussed. The task force's multidisciplinary membership is seen as enhancing the credibility of the suggested reforms. The task force developed guidelines instead of a model law, avoiding disputes about the philosophical basis of commitment laws and providing local jurisdictions the liberty to adapt the task force's recommendations to suit local conditions. Both the problems identified and the suggestions offered by the guidelines were based on the empirical experience of local commitment systems. Communication among the components of civil commitment systems was seen as crucial to reform and as achievable through a recommended structural change.
确定并讨论了指导国家特别工作组制定非自愿民事收容指南的一些假设。特别工作组的多学科成员构成被视为增强了所建议改革的可信度。特别工作组制定的是指南而非示范法，避免了关于收容法哲学基础的争议，并赋予地方司法管辖区根据当地情况调整特别工作组建议的自由。指南所确定的问题和提出的建议均基于地方收容系统的实证经验。民事收容系统各组成部分之间的沟通被视为改革的关键，并且通过建议的结构变革是可以实现的。
