Abstract

The Psychiatric Hospitals (Compulsory Admissions) Act, Wet BOPZ in Dutch, will be replaced by two new laws as of 1 January 2020. This has many implications for patients as well as the physicians treating them. The new laws are emphasising treatment rather than admission. They also provide for more forms of treatment at home. However, there are several practical and fundamental sticking points and issues of coordination between the two laws.
