The "Treatment Advocacy Center" was founded by E. Fuller Torrey, who has a history of advocacy of involuntary "treatment." When he was with NAMI, one of the things they advised parents to do was to lie if necessary about what the child had done in order to get their children "treatment." He often maintains that people refuse treatment because as a result of their mental illness they do not understand what they are doing. He seems to me to dismiss as invalid other reasons why people might refuse treatment.

This may or may not be relevant to the present case or to the Baker Act.
