Abstract
Nearly two years after the first group of California counties began implementing a legislatively approved measure to refer individuals with serious mental illness to mandated treatment, deep division remains over the appropriateness of the state's direction. Individuals' and groups' judgment concerning the CARE (Community Assistance, Recovery and Empowerment) Court initiative largely rests on their views in general about the efficacy of coerced mental health care.
