A subset of this group

A subset of those above 

The most challenging group and the very smallest group of all are those who experience disturbance of consciousness for no readily apparent reason and are not aware that what they are actually (as opposed to might be) doing might physically cause their own destruction or hurt others. This is a great challenge.

How best to deal with the consequences of their actions before their disturbance subsides? How best to keep them and us safe while respecting their liberty to have a disturbed consciousness which is not causing them distress? Here are two versions of something that seems to have good outcomes, even though it came with difficult issues of imprisonment: a solution from the 1870s and see a modern version of that story. Is it the answer we lean toward? No, (there is the question of imprisonment), but the point is that coming out of it the people were "well," no longer in need of treatment and not "in remission," requiring life-long "care" and drugs. Is that a better outcome for society and the individual? For this subset of a subset we cannot back away from seeking to work out a solution to this issue of imprisonment. There are opinions of experts which we will seek in the course of our work.
