Focusing on the needs of forensic psychiatrists this book shows how to apply clinical data to psychiatric-legal criteria. The contributors, many of whom are among the most prominent members of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law, specify areas of general agreement on forensictopics, and describe major contending views on topics that lack consensus. Areas covered include psychiatric disability, determinations for social security workers' compensation and ethical guidelines.
