  • Title: Youngberg v. Romeo.
    Author: U.S. Supreme Court.
    Journal: U S Rep U S Supreme Court; 1982 Jun 18; 457():307-31. PubMed ID: 12041273.
    Abstract:
    Vacating and remanding a U.S. Court of Appeals, Third Circuit decision, the Supreme Court ruled that mentally retarded patients who were involuntarily committed to a state institution enjoy substantive rights, under the due process clause of the Constitution's Fourteenth Amendment, to safe conditions of confinement, freedom from bodily restraints, and such minimal training or habilitation as will ensure those interests. Any infringement upon the patient's rights must be based on professional judgment and may not depart from accepted professional judgment, practice, or standards.
