Abstract
The interviewed psychiatrists' own judgements and values, rather than clinical and legal directions, were decisive in their practice of compulsory care. For the BPD patients, this can result in vast differences in the mental healthcare offered, depending on which individual psychiatrist they encounter. Socio-political expectations and psychiatrists' personal views seem to lead to more compulsory care of BPD patients than is clinically recommended and legally sanctioned.
