DESCRIPTION:The 1998 Pulitzer Prize Finalist and author of "Mad in America" and 
 "Anatomy of an Epidemic" discusses the significance of the newly-funded 
 Involuntary Outpatient Commitment passed by Congress and signed by Obama in 
 early April.\n\nThe provision was slipped into the bill by Forced Drugging 
 fans and rubber-stamped with little or no debate. \n\nIOC is already 
 authorized under Laura's Law in California, but has not generally been 
 implemented because of funding limitations and other restrictions. 
 Standards for authorizing forced treatment are significantly relaxed giving 
 psychiatrists much great power to coerce "treatment".\n\nWhitaker's take on 
 discusses forced drugging and Involuntary Outpatient Commitment at 
 http://www.madinamerica.com/2012/05/e-fuller-torreys-review-of-anatomy-of-an-epidemic-what-does-it-reveal-about-the-rationale-for-forced-treatment/ 
 ,\n\nWhitaker has previously tracked the rise in diagnosis of mental 
 illness in the U.S. and the proliferation of drugs to medicate various 
 conditions.\n\nFor extensive and updated info go to
