- Abstract
- This paper discusses the development psychiatric care from the end of the 13th century until today. What is examined is how the Swedish legislator historically and until today has handled conflicts of interest between the individual's right to freedom and society's interest of protection.
This paper has focused on examining coercive psychiatric care within the framework of healthcare legislation and will therefore not highlight forensic psychiatric care, the sentencing of psychiatric care and its aspects more than to highlight the historical context. The paper has also not dealt with specific issues concerning youth and child psychiatry.

Swedish compulsory psychiatric care has long struggled with the conflict between the individual's right to freedom and society's need for control. From the medieval view of mental illness as a form of punishment from God, to today's legislation that takes the rights of those receiving com-pulsory care into account. From an authoritarian and stern approach to a more individualized legislation. However, transparency and insight into the application and development of compulsory care remains important, as each new law has aimed to improve conditions for those admitted. This has been achieved in the long run, but almost every step along the way has been met with severe criticism and it is important not to let complacency dictate that the problem has been solved once and for all.

- Denna uppsats behandlar inom den psykiatriska tvångsvården från 1200-talets slut fram till idag. Det som undersöks är hur hur den svenska lagstifta-ren historiskt och fram till idag hanterat intressekonflikter mellan individens rätt till frihet och samhällets skyddsintresse.
Denna uppsats har fokuserat på att undersöka psykiatrisk tvångsvård inom ramen för sjukvårdslagstiftning och kommer därav inte lyfta rättspsykiatrisk vård, utdömandet av psykiatrisk vård i dom och dess aspekter mer än för att belysa den historiska kontexten. Uppsatsen har heller inte behandlat speci-fika frågor rörande ungdoms- och barnpsykiatrin.

Den svenska psykiatriska tvångsvården har länge brottats med konflikten mellan individens rätt till frihet och samhällets behov av kontroll. Från me-deltidens syn på psykisk sjukdom som en form av straff från Gud, till da-gens lagstiftning som tar den intagnes rättigheter i beaktning. Från ett aukto-ritärt och fostrande synsätt till en mer individanpassad lagstiftning. Det är dock fortfarande viktigt med insyn i hur tvångsvården tillämpas och utveck-las, för varje ny lag har haft för avsikt att förbättra villkoren för de intagna. Detta har succesivt skett, men ofta möter lagstiftningen svår kritik och det är viktigt att inte tro att man löst problemet en gång för alla. (Less)
