Whether to apply for involuntary treatment is challenging for social workers. The aim of this study is to explore the legal background of a mental health social work case in Scotland and at the same time pay attention to the ethical dilemmas during the intervention. The relationship-based practice was applied to develop trust between the social worker and the service user and to change negative behaviours, while some difficulties related to multi-agency work and self-determination of service users still existed.
