When is enough enough: the administrative discharge.
This paper has described the process of administrative discharge. Indications for its implementation and obstacles to recognizing its appropriateness have been reported. Administrative discharge is a process that has profound effects on the treatment milieu. It deserves further study to document more fully the patients who are subject to it and their eventual clinical outcome.
