Zusammenfassung:	In the past, the legal and medical perspectives on issues relating to compulsory treatment focused on the individual's interest in liberty on the one hand and the physician's authority to treat on the other.

The author suggests an emerging advocacy perspective that focuses on the quality of treatment.
