Physicians have been criticized for abusing the civil rights of the mentally ill by their methods of committal. To see if such criticism is justified in Canada, a review was conducted of all the major legal journals to identify cases in which it was alleged that physicians had wrongfully certified a patient. These cases are outlined, and, when considered along with the scientific literature, show no justification to support allegations of abuse, but rather show that physicians act with care and concern on behalf of their patients.
医生因采用收押方式侵犯精神病患者的公民权利而受到批评。为了探究这种批评在加拿大是否合理，对所有主要法律期刊进行了审查，以确定那些声称医生错误地为患者开具证明的案例。这些案例被概述出来，并且与科学文献一同考量时，并未显示出支持虐待指控的依据，反而表明医生是出于对患者的关心和谨慎行事。
