An extensive report on the procedures and legal guarantees necessary for the protection of the mentally ill with emphasis on the status quo. Questions relating to arbitrary deprivation of the freedoms and human rights of an individual on grounds of his mental health condition are given, as are the reasons for voluntary and involuntary hospitalization of persons, their right to treatment and the types of psychiatric institutions.
