Özet

“Zorunlu yatış” terimi bireyleri iradeleri dışında hastaneye yatırmak ve orada tutmak anlamına gelmektedir. “Zorla tedavi” terimi ise, hastalık durumunu ve tedavi görmesi gerektiğini kabul etmeyen, bu konuda onam verecek durumda olmayan bireylerde başvurulan tedavi uygulama şeklidir. Ruhsal rahatsızlıkları olan bireyleri zorunlu olarak hastaneye yatırmak önemli hukuki ve etik boyutu olan bir konudur. Bu yazıda farklı ülkelerdeki zorunlu yatış uygulamalarına ve ülkemizdeki bu konudaki gelişmelere yer verilmiştir.
