Extract

The term forensic psychiatry is used broadly here to describe the involvement of the psychiatrist at any stage—pre-trial, during the trial, or post-trial—of the legal process, whether this be criminal or civil. In its widest sense, it is also concerned with the procedures associated with the Mental Health Acts. The subject interdigitates closely with general and adolescent psychiatry, mental handicap, criminology, sociology, social work, psychology, legal studies, alcohol and drug dependence studies. Accordingly, reading in forensic psychiatry must necessarily carry the student into such related fields.
