There are new possibilities for people with a mental disorder 'a substantial risk of serious injury to themselves or others "are obliged to treat. A committee will assess that risk, which a judge decides. But the "forced inclusion" disappears further into the background.
That is the core of a bill of Minister of Justice Hirsch Ballin, in cooperation with Minister Klink (Health), replacing the current Law drawdowns special psychiatric hospitals, the bopz. Which regulates how and under what conditions forced people may be included because of a mental disorder.
That image should focus on road, the main pillar of the new proposal. First of all possibilities for voluntary or compulsory care ambulatory care utilization, then the step may be put to forced recording. Modern psychiatry has a lot more and better opportunities for care tailored than someone behind a closed door continue.
"An important and valuable step," says Hirsch Ballin. "With this law we erase the last traces of the Krankzinnigenwet from from 1884."
An important change is that the criterion for inclusion and forced treatment is extended. That is also reflected in the choice of words. The old bopz Act stipulated that anyone still a 'danger' for themselves or others should form before compulsion could be applied.
Under that scheme were many requests for forced inclusion rejected, usually because the rescue saw no immediate danger. According to critics such verwerd protection of autonomy in practice too often to a right to rot - a krepeerrecht.
For example, who was psychotic and confused state refused treatment, so could drift. At the end of this process than the personal autonomy while intact, but were relationship, job and house often lost.
In the words of Hirsch Ballin: "The old law had loopholes that bopz miserable sometimes turns out. Now there is also the notion that those involved in self-ruin, in the broader sense of social decay. For example, if a failure does not intervene in the development may cause, or if someone starts to be negligible. That may be all grounds to intervene. To ensure that there is a reasonable objectivity, a committee that must evaluate. "
That committee consists of at least three people, including at least one lawyer and a psychiatrist. In complex cases, for example, an addiction expert or Practiced be added.
The intention is that the commission investigating the psychiatrist rid of his current doubles as behartiger interest of patients and medical adviser to the court. That doubles leads to tensions in courtrooms.
Furthermore, the law has many practical changes, so does a judicial authorization care 'current seven different types of authorization replaced. The proposal still in maintaining the role of the mayor. That should at night and weekends authorize emergency recordings.
The meaning of this construction is sometimes questioned, for example, since a fortuitous incident deputy mayor sometimes hardly know what he assesses. But the mayors themselves had to maintain this regime insisted.
It is through the new opportunities for various forms of coercion, according to Hirsch Ballin in the new law the position of the patient strengthened. Coercive will later, on balance, and less frequently applied, he expects.
"We have many more moments that brought a patient is seriously heard. In fact, there is continuous attention to listening to and informing patients. Because that showed the most expressed complaint: Patients were heard only at rare moments, and then for formal reasons. For example, if the court had to decide on a forced inclusion as a treatment plan was to be determined, or if a complaint should be judged. "
The new law takes final farewell to 'the mad house. " Whether or not shooting and forced treatment at a specific location will be further reduced, expected Hirsch Ballin. "In a much earlier stage started outpatient treatment." In cases where a person is under treatment at home and, for example, simply taking his prescribed pills, recording is not raised.
