abstract="The term &quot;mental illness&quot; implies that persons with such illnesses are more likely to be dangerous to themselves and/or others than are persons without such illnesses. This is the source of the psychiatrist's traditional social obligation to control &quot;harm to self and/or others,&quot; that is, suicide and crime. The ethical dilemmas of psychiatry cannot be resolved as long as the contradictory functions of healing persons and protecting society are united in a single discipline. © 2003 BMJ Publishing Group, Inc.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
