The national enthusiasm for a civil rights approach to all social problems has produced a body of case law that has made it impossible to give medical help to anyone without their consent. A short walk through any community reveals the failure of these policies--sidewalks and parks have become open-air mental wards, but without treatment. Now the authors make a call to action.
