Examples for Ethical sensitivity in the psychiatric problems and psychiatric practice can be found in the declarations of the World Psychiatric Association, ethical codes of national physician associations, and expert associations’ texts about the issue. It is possible to conceive the practices of the Psychiatric Association of Turkey such as issuing “Psychiatry Rules of Occupational Ethics” in 2002 and accepting “science, ethics, solidarity” discourse as a principle within this context. This study aimed to present and discuss the Council of Europe Committee on Bioethis’s additional protocol for psychiatry studies that influenced the internal law of our country with the “Convention on Human Rights and Biomedicine” within the context of bioethics. Protocol studies are carried out by the Committee on Bioethics. The process is organized to establish an Additional Protocol by taking the opinions of patients and relatives, physicians, other healthcare professionals, and human rights associations. Opinions of the public about the issue are also deemed important. Involuntary placement and treatment, about which there are legal gaps, is the leading important issue on which the protocol focused.In the draft protocol, involuntary placement and treatment concepts, the status of persons subject to these concepts, psychiatrists and competencies as evaluators during involuntary hospitalization are addressed elaborately. Although it has not yet been legalized in Turkey, it is worth noting the issue addressed in “Mental Health Act Draft” and “Rules of Occupational Ethics of Psychiatry” to which the Psychiatric Association of Turkey contributed to significantly.
