Abstract
Callahan's paper on paternalism and involuntary psychiatric commitment of adults, with comments by Rebecca Dresser, appeared in the August 1984 issue of the Journal of Medicine and Philosophy (Vol. 9, No. 3). In this brief essay, Callahan responds to Dresser's criticisms, in particular to those directed at Callahan's proposed standards for commitment and at her discussion of the incompetence criterion.
