Abstract: An analysis of involuntary hospitalization practices in Allegheny County, Pa., has concluded that for a substantial group of individuals with mental illness, a hospital stay actually increases risk of later harm. The paper's finding is compelling in that the population of focus for the analysis consisted of patients for whom the decision to commit was considered a close judgment call.
