[Danger to self and others as a prerequisite for psychiatric commitment].
The words of section 3 Z. 1 UbG (Law on commitment to a psychiatric hospital) are interpreted very restrictive meaning only physical injuries. An extensive interpretation concerning the danger of one's health would include also a psychical affect (for oneself or others). Neither section 3 Z. 1 UbG itself, nor the Law on protection of the personal freedom (Art. 2 Abs. 1 Z. 5 BVG, BGBl. 1988/684) would contradict. But in that case the danger of the psychical wealth must be measured at the seriousness, importance and the principle of subsidiarity.
