  • Title: [Social workers in the commitment procedure].
    Author: Schröder S, Straub R, Stolz K, Frick E.
    Journal: Psychiatr Prax; 1993 Sep; 20(5):188-90. PubMed ID: 8248444.
    Abstract:
    Regular inclusion of a social worker alongside the expertising physician whenever a judge has to decide on committing a person to a psychiatric hospital, is known in German legal practice as "Stuttgart model". Our experiences with this procedure are discussed on an interdisciplinary level. In our opinion this model agrees with the spirit of the new German law governing guardianship and care.
