Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to assess whether a brief case management intervention aimed at promoting personal recovery and reducing the negative effects of coercion among people involuntarily admitted to a psychiatric hospital would be well accepted by them, practically feasible and useful. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is the case management intervention acceptable and feasible? * What are the preliminary effects of the case management intervention on patients' personal recovery and its sub-dimensions, as well as on their level of perceived coercion and their global satisfaction with hospital care? Participants will be asked to take part in: * the five sessions of the case management intervention; * two evaluation sessions (pre and post-intervention); * a final in-depth semi-structured interview (optional).
