Abstract
The right to treatment movement has increased the possibilities for humane treatment of persons experiencing severe problems in living. This increased access to treatment, however, raises questions about the state of our knowledge of psychotherapy. It is questionable whether the helping professions can provide effective help to those persons confined because they are in need of mental treatment. The right to treatment movement is examined in light of what is and is not known about treatment effectiveness. Issues are raised about the discrepancies between legislative/judicial progress and the ability of the helping professions to meet the new challenge prompted by the right to treatment movement.
