[A national survey of the practice of adjudication of the legality of involuntary psychiatric admissions].

The high response rate and the comments on the local characteristics of the judicial review indicate the high level of professional interest of the Hungarian psychiatric community in the judicial review of involuntary treatment and the expressed need for change resulting in its modernization and standardization. The authors set out the steps to be taken by all parties (psychiatric profession, courts, legislators) to ensure that the judicial review can fully achieve its objective: the protection of the fundamental rights of psychiatric patients and the possibility of their lawful treatment.
