Synopsis
The Department of Forensic Psychiatry has assembled the foremost local experts in forensic psychiatry for this original handbook that is valuable not only for practising psychiatrists and psychologists (both the general clinician and the forensic specialist), but also for psychiatric residents, those in forensic fellowship programmes, other mental health professionals, and those in the legal field dealing with psychiatric matters in Singapore. This handbook provides the context that clinicians require to navigate the daunting medico-legal arena, with the help of case examples and even legal references. Exhaustive in its coverage, this handbook will surely enhance the practice of forensic psychiatry as it strives to create expert witnesses who practise both professionally and ethically.
