The persistence of compulsory hospitalization in psychiatry is still a topical question within the atmosphere of violence and even of barbarism which comes to light in our society. Given opinions get more radical and demand zero risk in psychiatry, it becomes a lack of political ambition to carry on speaking of medical approach on the one side and of liberty one the other side.
