J Clin Psychiatry. 1983 Jun;44(6 Pt 2):33-40.
This overview reviews three major aspects of the interface between psychiatry and law: (1) legal issues in clinical management (e.g., civil commitment, the least restrictive setting principle, and informed consent), (2) management of client information, and (3) caveats for clinicians concerned with legal issues. It is suggested that periodic review of legal issues can increase both professional confidence and comfort, and that it will be necessary upon occasion for psychiatrists to enter the public debate on legal issues to help ensure the best interests of patients and of the profession.
（1）临床管理中的法律问题（如民事收容、限制最少环境原则和知情同意），（2）客户信息管理，以及（3）关注法律问题的临床医生的注意事项。建议定期审查法律问题可以增强专业信心并带来舒适感，并且精神科医生有时有必要参与关于法律问题的公开辩论，以帮助确保患者和该专业的最大利益。
