Abstract
The authors delineate aspects of adolescent psychological development that should be considered in decisions regarding psychiatric residential treatment, reviewing the issue of consent to treatment in the context of developmental psychology. They state that rather than jettisoning the whole system of placing treatable disturbed young people in residential facilities without their explicit consent, the court should take as its proper role to ensure that adolescents placed in residential psychiatric facilities receive adequate treatment.
