Hi.
Do you feel that there is something inherently wrong with the concept of forced hospitalization, or is it that you feel it is a good idea, but that in many instances it is being administered poorly?
Perfectly reasonable people at Thanksgiving can become psychotically ill by Christmas and kill your parents to comply with the wishes of a prophetic dog. Might it be desirable to hospitalize such people if they can be identified prior to acting on their psychotic thought disturbances?
Where would you draw lines, assuming there are any that need to be drawn?
