Abstract
The rates of compulsory admission and detention for 1991-1992 were pro vided by 32 German psychiatric hospitals and departments. Very low rat es were found in the eastern states and wide variation in rate in the western (as in 1984). In 1991-1992 the median value for compulsory adm ission was 28.8 and for detention during the course of in-patient trea tment 10.0 per 100 000 inhabitants per year.
