Which of the following case meets the criteria for involuntary commitment
A.A single parent who leaves her minor children unattended and stays out all night drinking.
B.A person who lives alone and isn't able to care for himself and has schizophrenia with delusions of persecution.
C.A man who threatens to kill his wife.
D.A person with depression who says he's tired of living but doesn't have a suicide plan.
参考答案:C
解析:One of the criteria for involuntary commitment is an emergency in which the client is a threat to himself or others. A parent might have a child removed from the home because of neglect, but that doesn't meet the criteria for involuntary commitment. Many individuals with schizophrenia can learn to live with hallucinations and delusions and don't require hospitalization. To meet criteria for involuntary commitment, a depressed individual must have a suicide plan and be a direct threat to himself.
