The author outlines the main problems of the treatment of criminal offenders in a hospital setting: reaction to the hospital environment, lack of motivation for treatment, therapists' reluctance to treat these patients, absence of support for rehabilitation and uncertainty about future risk.

It is often difficult, however, to recognize this impairment, to assess its extent, to evaluate its current relevance and to draw the correct conclusions. This becomes important when the psychiatrist deals with a patient whose will is in opposition to his welfare. Difficulties for the physician may also result because his therapy, regardless of whether it is somatic therapy or psychotherapy or involves social measures, though aiming to remove the mental disturbance and with the ultimate objective of the patient regaining his lost autonomy in mind, may at times curtail the self-determination of the patient.
