EUNOMIA study
The EUNOMIA study , short for European Evaluation of Coercion in Psychiatry and Harmonization of Best Clinical Practice , is a study carried out in ten European countries between December 1, 2002 and June 30, 2006 to evaluate coercive psychiatric measures .
The interim results show that patients who are treated against their will in psychiatry have a significantly worse prognosis for improvement than patients who are treated with their will. The study also comes to the conclusion that treatment forced by the threat of a legal decision does not go much better than the forced treatment of patients with an official forced admission decision.
