In 1978 the Ontario Mental Health Act was revised to contain more specific and objective criteria for involuntary admission to hospital and treatment. The new requirements have elicited critical and pessimistic comments from psychiatrists and other physicians in Ontario. Two recent cases, described in this paper, indicate that the changes in the law have not obstructed good clinical care and treatment and may, in fact, be salutary to the management of patients who are involuntarily admitted to hospital.
1978年,安大略省《精神健康法》进行了修订,纳入了关于非自愿住院和治疗的更具体、客观的标准。新要求引发了安大略省精神科医生和其他医生的批评和悲观评论。本文所述的两个近期案例表明,法律的变化并未阻碍良好的临床护理和治疗,事实上,对于非自愿住院患者的管理可能是有益的。
