Involuntary Treatment in Therapy

Involuntary treatment is a form of therapy that an individual is required to attend, rather than choosing to do so on their own. Such mandates often come from state agencies. For example, treatment may be required by the criminal justice system as a condition of parole, or by child protective services following cases of child abuse or neglect.
