Die Sanktionierung unbotgemäßen Patientenverhaltens : Disziplinarische Aspekte des psychiatrischen Maßregelvollzuges

How should a psychiatric hospital react to rule infringements by its residents? The legislators of the different Federal State Legislatures have decided not to plan for an explicit disciplinary law. The author examines the question of whether a codified disciplinary law is preferable. Through legally dogmatic considerations, sociological analyses, empirical investigations and legally comparable considerations, a multi-layered picture of the problem emerges.
