Hospital and state criminal history records of all psychiatric patients (N = 31) for whom, during a four-year period, treatment staff pursued extended civil commitments based on dangerousness under the Postcertification for the imminently Dangerous statute (California Welfare and Institutions Code section 5300) were reviewed. A matched control group consisted of 31 patients who had been placed on 14-Day Certifications for Dangerousness to Others, but who were not subsequently placed on 180-Day Postcertifications. Sixty-one percent of patients in the postcertification group engaged in documented physically assaultive behavior during the extended one- to five-year follow-up period, compared with 26 percent of patients in the matched control group, suggesting that inclusion in the extended commitment group was indicative of greater long-term potential for assault. Differences in assaultiveness did not emerge during the first year of followup, but became clear and significant over subsequent years. Accuracy of prediction differed as a function of patient ethnic group.","PeriodicalId":76615,"journal":{"name":"The Bulletin of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law","volume":"24 2","pages":"247-53"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"19776579","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Patients' attitudes toward having been forcibly medicated.","authors":"W M Greenberg, L Moore-Duncan, R Herron","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"Forced antipsychotic medication procedures are generally perceived to be clinically necessary options, albelt violations of individuals' bodies and autonomy. Previous studies have explored forcibly medicated patients' attitudes concerning these procedures, but as patients were interviewed while still in the hospital, this may have affected their responses. We interviewed consecutively forcibly medicated English-speaking acute-care inpatients after their discharge to the community. The interviews were conducted by telephone by a clinician not involved with their treatment. Of 65 such patients, 7 had already been rehospitalized, 3 could not recall the procedure, and 25 others refused the interview or were not locatable. Of the 30 who were successfully interviewed, only 47 percent had received any forced injections; the remainder had accepted oral medication under duress. Recollecting their experiences, 57 percent professed fear of side effects, 17 percent feared \"addiction,\" and 17 percent objected to others' controlling them. Forty percent recalled feeling angry, 33 percent helpless, 23 percent fearful, 13 percent embarrassed, but 23 percent were relieved. Surprisingly, 60 percent retrospectively agreed with having been coerced, 53 percent stating they were more likely to take medication voluntarily in the future. Other forcibly medicated patients had poorer outcomes, such as rapid readmission or discharge to a state hospital: those patients may have harbored more negative feelings. However, a substantial fraction of the patients who were reached in the community appeared to support having received medication forcibly as inpatients.","PeriodicalId":76615,"journal":{"name":"The Bulletin of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law","volume":"24 4","pages":"513-24"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"19963921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Where the line is drawn between sufficient and insufficient abilities has important consequences: as a result of being adjudicated incompetent, defendants may be detained and treated involuntarily and their trials will be delayed. However, no studies have systematically compared the capacities of relevant groups of defendants. In this study, 84 criminal defendants--42 of whom were hospitalized as incompetent and 42 of whom were regarded as unquestionably competent--were administered three instruments measuring capacity to understand legally relevant information. Incompetent defendants performed more poorly on all measures of understanding. Twenty-eight incompetent defendants were administered the measures a second time, after restoration to competence. Restored defendants improved their performance on all measures of understanding and their performance was similar to that of normal, competent defendants.","PeriodicalId":76615,"journal":{"name":"The Bulletin of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law","volume":"24 2","pages":"187-97"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"19777304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
