Admitting people to a mental hospital or to a welfare home is subjected to judicial control that is exercised by the guardianship court and the visiting judge. The law allows for three kinds of direct coercion: holding, application of medicines, immobilizing, and isolating. With respect to juveniles compulsory treatment is applied by virtue of a decision of the court.plAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Polandhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/pl/chory z zaburzeniami psychicznymiprzymusowe leczenieprawo polskieprawozaburzenia psychicznechorzyleczeniepatient with mental disturbancescompulsory treatmentPolish lawlawmental disorderssicktreatmentpatients with mental disorderspacjencipatientsArticle
