Abstract     The authors present their analysis of a joint research on the epidemiology of compulsory hospitalisation in the three Alpe-Adria regions (Trieste, Gorizia and Pordenone in Italy, Klagenfurt in Austria, and Ljubljana with surroundings in Slovenia) in 1992. The origin and the purpose of the Section fnr enhancing mental health of the Alpe-Adria Associatinn and the historical development of psychiatric approaches in the three regions are briefly noted, before the description of methods, employed in the research, and the results are presented and discussed. It seems that in the region with an ongoing process of deinstitutionalisation there is a consistent decrease in tha number of compulsory hospitalisations. The dynamics of these figures depend also on the legislation in an individual region. The research shows an international tendency to reform legislation as a consequence of the crisis of the traditional psychiatric paradigm.
