Psychiatric interventions in the administration of civil law regulating the individual's right to manage his person and property serve two often contradictory aims: to protect the ward and maximize his material benefits, as defined by individuals other than the ward himself, and to protect the potential ward's civil rights and to minimize abridgments of his freedom and powers to make independent decisions as defined by himself. It is the view of the authors that the potential ward's freedom and right to self-determination should be recognized as more important values than the protection, even against his will, of his person and property
