title: [Psychiatric legislation for the emergency physician].
abstract: A psychiatric examination in an emergency care situation often involves taking an attitude towards the patient's right to preserve her/his freedom and integrity. In the name of human rights it has been considered important to carefully control the reasons and courses of action that are used to restrict the constitutional rights of a human being. This will inevitably necessitate the adherence to certain formal courses of action. The goal shall be an attempt to patient-centered thinking and encountering the patient as a human being. Treatment possibilities in outpatient care should be good enough to be more frequently utilized instead of involuntary care.
