- Title
Community treatment orders for psychiatric patients: the emperor with no clothes.
- Authors

- Abstract
The article presents a study that investigates the effectiveness of community treatment orders (CTO) for psychiatric patients. The gathered data indicate that the proponents of CTO argue that they are less coercive than the alternatives of compulsory admission to hospital or arrest. The research findings suggest that CTO remain an unproven way of reducing either when subjects are compared with matched or randomly selected control subjects. The authors believe that the negative findings was due to insufficient study power because the respondents persisted when studies were combined in metaanalyses.
