Abstract

Suicide is a complex issue and a source of discussion between different disciplines. Suicide assessment and management research had received a huge attention in the field. Argentina has a legal framework focused on protecting human rights. Malpractice and liability discussion is offered in cases of suicide in psychiatric patients recently admitted to an inpatient setting. Imminent and certain risk of damage is the legal requirement for involuntary psychiatric admission in terms of Mental Health Law in Argentina.
