Re-examination of forensic psychiatry needs a proper examination of alternatives
Abstract
Comments on an article by Trevor Turner and Mark Salter (see record 2008-01680-001). The authors' re-examination of the relationship between forensic and general psychiatry was provocative and rehearsed the criticisms from generalists towards their forensic colleagues. No doubt it is important for forensic psychiatrists to consider external views in reflecting on their own practice. It encourages forensic psychiatrists to be highly sensitive to the ethical dilemmas inherent in their sub-specialty. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2018 APA, all rights reserved)
