[Compulsory admission and detention at psychiatric hospitals in Tirol--a frequency analysis of 11 years].
Freedom and compulsion are burning questions in psychiatry, and often unsatisfactorily resolved. In this paper general aspects are discussed in the light of data obtained at the Innsbruck University Department of Psychiatry and the Mental State Hospital of Hall in Tyrol. From 1976 to 1986 364 (1.99%) patients required compulsory admission following certification by police (or civil service) doctors out of 18,207 admissions to the University Department of Psychiatry over this 11-year period. Of these patients 90 had to be jugded by a court commission with regard to further compulsory hospitalization. Most frequent reasons for compulsory admission were alcohol-related psychiatric diseases in men and endogenous psychoses in women. The data collected at the University Department are compared with the situation in the Mental State Hospital of Hall in Tyrol. Results are discussed in the light of recent literature.
