Abstract
The application of the new Treatment of Mental Patients Law, 1991, has been responsible for significant changes in the work of mental health workers, in particular those involved in the often complex process of civil commitment for examination/hospitalization. The experience of i mplementing this new law shows that some of the clauses related to thi s process contain controversial concepts. These concepts will be the f ocus of this paper.
