Abstract: We are in an era of self-conscious minorities forcefully asserting their right to have rights in accordance with the Constitution and the Bill of Rights themselves. This paper explores the rights of those committed to psychiatric treatment for disturbed and disturbing behavior. The large question is the subtitle: Is the law justified in using madness to limit liberty?
