ALICE ROBIE RESNICK, J.

This case presents two principal issues for our review: (1) Were appellant's due-process rights adequately protected in the course of his involuntary commitment? and (2) Should appellant's treating psychiatrist have been allowed to testify at the commitment hearing? For the reasons which follow, we answer each question in the negative and reverse the judgment of the court of appeals.
