the principle that a patient is just a patient, regardless of possible legal measures against
him. With mutual tolerance, we can carry out all the therapeutic activities that are
necessary in the ward (therapeutic communities, occupational therapy, recreational
activities, contacts of the patients with their relatives, free exits, etc.), although we have
to agree to the closed-door system and the fact that the approval and consent of the court
is required for the permanent discharge of the patient. The partial restriction of freedom
therefore applies not only to patients, but also to the therapeutic team. This is a reality
that must be considered" (Kondža 1976, 59).
As Kondža and Kobal (2014) pointed out, the collection “Challenges in forensic psychiatry”
was published in 2014, which completely ignored the long-term practice, experience and
successes of the DFSP, "which worked for over 30 years at high humane, social and
professional level". To conclude with, dr. Žagar (2023) said: “In our society, everything in
retrospect, even what was positive, is forgotten, and we start all over again.”
