Dysfunctional families often use involuntary commitment to control and punish those who make them uncomfortable and/or speak the truth. Ghastly.

Absolutely. I report on this issue in my book, and it needs a lot more critical public attention.

Yet another powerful indictment of the existing psychiatric system, and the “help” it provides to people in extreme states of vulnerability, and emotional distress. At a time when more and more money, and legislation is being used to strengthen this abusive, profit and control-driven industry, may this rigorous, unbiased study be a much-needed wake up call. Thank you for sharing this critically important research.
