This textbook of forensic psychiatry is a source book for a wide range of issues concerned with the interaction between law and psychiatry.

The book may be used as an examination and instructional text for psychiatrists, as a source of reference for all academic enquiries in this field, and as the basis of closer understanding between professions working with mentally disordered offenders and other individuals caught up in the legal process, including lawyers, magistrates, psychologists, social workers, probation officers, nurses and policemen.
