Involuntary confinement of psychiatric patients is an area fraught with medicolegal risks. This is especially important in states such as Louisiana with large rural areas where involuntary confinement or treatment is often initiated by non-psychiatrists. This paper discusses errors that are frequently made in the process in Louisiana and attempts to help the physician avoid them.
