Bearing Witness to Change ─ Forensic Psychiatry and Psychology Practice

This book explores the response of forensic psychiatry to changes over the last several decades. It also presents forensic psychiatry itself as an agent of change that has shaped psychiatry, public policy, and law. Topics include selected developments in forensic practice, the management and treatment of individuals who have had involvement with law enforcement systems, and the application of administrative principles to the management of forensic entities.
