after the psychiatric law, and has been permitted
to obtain expert impartial assistance

25
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and possess the integrity and
independence that would be expected in their position.

and the European Court of Human Rights,

99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
but instead the courts emphasize the doctor
whom hospitalized the patient

28
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
for an interview with one of its
representatives District Court Judge Mette Helby Jensen,

30
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is the opposing side's information

or in other legal periodicals
that I have knowledge of

patient an opportunity for a
critical expert assessment

practice that allows the former

99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to discuss the punitive consequences of officials
administrationally, violating the Danish constitution

35
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
traditions and reputation for respecting
human rights.

Would you please
present yourself?

I am Claus Bonnez
and I'm a defence attorney,

and lawyer in other areas as well:

45
00:00:38,807 --> 00:00:42,007
i.e. compulsory hospitalization,

The diagnosis is not my speciality

48
00:00:47,331 --> 00:00:49,200
This, I'll leave for the medical
specialists to explain

49
00:00:49,423 --> 00:00:55,523
Do you know the renowned 'Rosenhan Study',
and if you do, do you have an opinion about it?

50
00:00:55,550 --> 00:00:56,670
I have heard about it

51
00:00:57,029 --> 00:01:01,529
It was a study where some students were
called in to participate in an experiment

52
00:01:01,529 --> 00:01:07,940
They were here detected having a psyciatric
diagnosis, despite the fact that they

53
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,800
didnt' suffer from any mental illness -
that's what I know about the experiment

54
00:01:16,541 --> 00:01:20,741
Could psychiatrists in America
distinguish between madness and sanity?

55
00:01:22,523 --> 00:01:26,023
He was called David Rosenhan and he
devised a dramatic experiment

56
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,010
He assembled 8 people, including himself,

57
00:01:29,011 --> 00:01:31,460
none of whom had ever had
any psychiatric problems

58
00:01:33,365 --> 00:01:37,565
Each person was then sent across the
country to a specific mental hospital

59
00:01:38,770 --> 00:01:41,856
At an agreed time they all presented
themselves at that hospital,

60
00:01:42,709 --> 00:01:45,709
and told the psychiatrist at duty they
were hearing a voice in their head

61
00:01:45,910 --> 00:01:48,910
that said the word “thud!"

62
00:01:50,300 --> 00:01:53,300
That was the only lie they should tell,

63
00:01:53,303 --> 00:01:56,320
othervise they were to behave
and respond completely normally

64
00:02:03,565 --> 00:02:05,385
And then what happened?

65
00:02:05,470 --> 00:02:09,970
They were all diagnosed as insane,
and admitted to the hospital

66
00:02:12,553 --> 00:02:13,673
All of them?

67
00:02:14,474 --> 00:02:15,874
All of them!

68
00:02:16,335 --> 00:02:19,135
And were any of them insane?

69
00:02:19,140 --> 00:02:22,640
No. There were nobody that could
have judged these people as insane

70
00:02:23,226 --> 00:02:27,242
But I told friends, I told my family:
"I'll get out when its fine to get out...thats all!"

71
00:02:27,300 --> 00:02:30,583
"I'll be there for a couple of days,
and then I'll get out!"

72
00:02:30,769 --> 00:02:33,769
Nobody knew that I would
be there for 2 months!

73
00:02:34,646 --> 00:02:38,146
Once admitted, all 8 fake patients
acted completely normally

74
00:02:38,750 --> 00:02:41,550
Yet the hospitals refused
to release them,

75
00:02:41,650 --> 00:02:46,770
and diagnosed 7 as suffering from
schizophrenia and one from bi-polar disorder

76
00:02:47,016 --> 00:02:49,816
They were all given powerful
psychotropic drugs

77
00:02:50,714 --> 00:02:54,914
They found that there was nothing they could
do, to convince the doctors they were sane

78
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,432
And it quickly became clear
that the only way out

79
00:02:57,672 --> 00:03:02,139
would be to agree that they were insane
and then pretend to be getting better

80
00:03:03,355 --> 00:03:06,855
The only way out was to point out
that they were correct.

81
00:03:08,301 --> 00:03:12,903
They said I was insane,
”I am insane, but I'm getting better"

82
00:03:12,904 --> 00:03:18,201
That was an affirmation
of their view of me

83
00:03:18,998 --> 00:03:24,118
In court, when I am called in to question
a compulsory hospitalization;

84
00:03:24,588 --> 00:03:27,388
which is from judicial human rights
aspect

85
00:03:27,865 --> 00:03:32,365
If the rules are respected, which under Danish law is
critical,

86
00:03:32,620 --> 00:03:36,626
because in praxis, the law generally doesn't permit a 'second
opinion'

87
00:03:36,627 --> 00:03:42,785
which is an alternative opinion beside the conclusions of the
official assessment,

88
00:03:42,786 --> 00:03:45,997
which you must bring to bear on a person
to meet the legal criteria

89
00:03:45,998 --> 00:03:48,340
of being compulsorily hospitalized in
Denmark

90
00:03:48,419 --> 00:03:50,439
Ok, does that often happen?

91
00:03:50,492 --> 00:03:52,212
But... it's the rule!

92
00:03:53,216 --> 00:03:57,416
Is it the rule that there is no possibilty for the patient to get
get a 'second opinion'?

93
00:03:57,417 --> 00:03:59,437
Yes, absolutely,

94
00:03:59,795 --> 00:04:06,095
according to Danish psychiatric law,
if you are compulsorily hospitalized, you have the right

95
00:04:06,563 --> 00:04:13,063
to have your case tested in the Danish courts, to see if the
hospitalization was entitled,

96
00:04:13,108 --> 00:04:18,108
and this justice is elementary under
Danish law,

97
00:04:18,352 --> 00:04:21,472
according to the European
Human Rights Convention Article 5

98
00:04:22,017 --> 00:04:24,417
You have the right for this impartial
justice,

99
00:04:24,419 --> 00:04:27,539
and of course also because we are members of the
Council of Europe

100
00:04:28,055 --> 00:04:31,355
to respect the Danish
constitution

101
00:04:31,791 --> 00:04:34,411
So, when we have these cases,

102
00:04:34,500 --> 00:04:38,220
in my opinion, they become nothing
more than a sham

103
00:04:38,230 --> 00:04:42,730
because you in reality have no other expert opinions, than the
ones from the hospital even though

104
00:04:43,164 --> 00:04:46,664
they are the ones, that have kept the
individual in custody

105
00:04:47,186 --> 00:04:52,186
And hereby we need a critical second
opinion

106
00:04:53,031 --> 00:04:57,031
that can eventually dispute the offcial authority's
opinion

107
00:04:57,965 --> 00:05:02,665
And it is understandable that as judges, courts and
attorneys

108
00:05:03,225 --> 00:05:06,925
we have no specialist psychiatric
knowledge,

109
00:05:08,002 --> 00:05:12,002
and I as an attorney don't know when a doctor says that an
individual is insane

110
00:05:12,031 --> 00:05:16,531
Very often you can't see whether the clients
are normal or insane,

111
00:05:16,615 --> 00:05:19,715
so this I can have no clue about, and neither does
the judge,

112
00:05:19,723 --> 00:05:22,843
and the attorney working on behalf of the
hospital doesn't either

113
00:05:23,067 --> 00:05:26,067
When we have this sort of case in the
courts

114
00:05:26,126 --> 00:05:29,626
we base the case on the documentation from the concerned
hospital,

115
00:05:29,677 --> 00:05:33,677
and it's not very surprising that they
say their own decision was entitled

116
00:05:34,203 --> 00:05:37,203
And therefore these cases are very subjective and
hollow,

117
00:05:37,500 --> 00:05:41,700
and in my conviction, conflicting with the European Human Rights
Convention

118
00:05:41,833 --> 00:05:45,533
This statement I base on concrete
decisions

119
00:05:46,078 --> 00:05:49,078
from the European Court of Human Rights:

120
00:05:49,079 --> 00:05:53,879
that there should be an impartial body which
make the subsequent assessment

121
00:05:54,463 --> 00:05:57,263
if the concerned individual
is or was insane,

122
00:05:57,524 --> 00:06:01,524
therefore not the institution that has
decided the enforced detention was originally justified

123
00:06:02,696 --> 00:06:04,796
For me it is quite obvious,

124
00:06:05,244 --> 00:06:08,744
and the European Court of Human Rights
practice is not very surprising

125
00:06:08,951 --> 00:06:12,351
but when you try and invoke it in Danish Law

126
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,360
it's like talking to deaf ears

127
00:06:14,413 --> 00:06:17,413
Both County and High Courts.
They basically do not care!

128
00:06:17,416 --> 00:06:20,916
And now I've taken an action against with a concrete
case in front of the Human Rights Court

129
00:06:20,971 --> 00:06:22,291
Aha, on this basis?

130
00:06:22,375 --> 00:06:25,451
On exactly this question
where no

131
00:06:25,452 --> 00:06:28,975
impartial body was allowed to
make a subsequent assessment

132
00:06:29,960 --> 00:06:33,260
Both County and High Courts focused in this specific
case,

133
00:06:33,512 --> 00:06:36,312
as in the many of the
other cases I have taken,

134
00:06:36,565 --> 00:06:39,365
exclusively on the testimony
from the authorities,

135
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,639
the admitting doctor's
expert assessments,

136
00:06:43,226 --> 00:06:47,426
and the expert's assessment which
maintained the forced hospitalization

137
00:06:48,129 --> 00:06:49,949
And in my opinion,

138
00:06:50,284 --> 00:06:53,784
it doesn't comply with the
legal requirements as provided within

139
00:06:53,847 --> 00:06:56,547
the European Human Rights
Conventions Article 5

147
00:08:22,739 --> 00:08:26,939
One publised case, was when the staff at
Risskov pschyhiatric hospital,

148
00:08:26,950 --> 00:08:30,950
in the suburbs of Aarhus, due to very 
heavy workloads,

149
00:08:31,123 --> 00:08:35,123
filed a complaint to "Arbejdstilsynet" to get assistance

150
00:08:35,188 --> 00:08:38,160
in facilitating a dialogue with the
Direction of the Hospital; who had maintained

151
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,227
a rigid agenda from their singluar
viewpoint

152
00:08:40,289 --> 00:08:42,389
MADLY BUSY - I must do, I must do, I must
do!!! Calme, calme - take it easy; take a pill

153
00:08:43,348 --> 00:08:46,248
The staff reported:

154
00:08:46,262 --> 00:08:49,062
"Jobs are not being done, the staff have to seriously weaken the quality and it affects the
treatment and the work they do"

155
00:08:49,065 --> 00:08:51,865
"...time for professional reflection and
immersion is not present in the daily work"

156
00:08:52,015 --> 00:08:55,515
"Time for professional reflection and
immersion is not present in the daily work"

157
00:08:55,919 --> 00:08:59,419
Yes, it is clear

158
00:08:59,532 --> 00:09:03,032
You could say it's a bit of another
problematic question that you raise,

159
00:09:04,495 --> 00:09:07,495
because the question is: when you
are admitted to a hospital,

160
00:09:07,630 --> 00:09:10,630
if the working conditions
is so poor

161
00:09:11,187 --> 00:09:16,587
as described in the study
from "Arbejdstilsynet",

162
00:09:16,620 --> 00:09:18,440
it creates the risk that the staff of the hospitals
can simply mis-diagnose the patient,

163
00:09:18,499 --> 00:09:21,999
and it can have an impact, both on people
who benefit from being under treatment at

164
00:09:22,123 --> 00:09:25,623
the hospital - they may be too
early written out and sent home -

165
00:09:25,700 --> 00:09:27,500
while others who shouldn't be at the
hospital for example: because they are not sick

166
00:09:27,500 --> 00:09:30,800
remain at the hospital unwarranted

167
00:09:30,800 --> 00:09:34,320
Which obviously is a serious problem

168
00:09:35,145 --> 00:09:37,245
when people are in involuntarily
custody

169
00:09:37,785 --> 00:09:40,785
But, if so, one imagines
that the hospital

170
00:09:40,864 --> 00:09:44,364
had proper working conditions,

171
00:09:44,376 --> 00:09:49,396
very professional
and competent staff

172
00:09:49,498 --> 00:09:51,598
it is still in violation with the
rule of law

173
00:09:51,626 --> 00:09:54,126
as the European Court of Human Rights
interprete in Article 5,

174
00:09:54,215 --> 00:09:57,915
that it can not be the same institution which
subsequently

175
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,620
so to speak, deliver the opinions and the assessments
which the court makes its decision upon

176
00:10:04,112 --> 00:10:07,612
when a citizen claims in front of court,
that a compulsory admission was unjustified

177
00:10:09,085 --> 00:10:13,285
This of course is amplified by a poor
working environment

178
00:10:13,672 --> 00:10:17,172
Because of this, the validity of the medical
staffs opinion is called into question

179
00:10:17,203 --> 00:10:20,453
However, even if this not the case,

180
00:10:20,500 --> 00:10:23,750
it remains problematic due to the

181
00:10:24,785 --> 00:10:28,285
contradictory thought-process,
present in a democratic states courtroom,

182
00:10:28,299 --> 00:10:33,299
which is the fact that the defendant

183
00:10:33,326 --> 00:10:40,326
has the opportunity to
submit arguments in favor

184
00:10:40,517 --> 00:10:44,017
as well as the opposing side, has this
opportunity,

185
00:10:44,096 --> 00:10:46,596
and that is the position of the patients when
discharged
