  • Forensic Psychiatry and neurolaw: Description, developments, and debates
    International Journal of Law and Psychiatry, 2018
    Co-Authors: Gerben Meynen
    Abstract:

    Abstract Neuroscience produces a wealth of data on the relationship between brain and behavior, including criminal behavior. The research field studying the possible and actual impact of neuroscience on the law and legal practices, is called neurolaw. It is a new and rapidly developing domain of interdisciplinary research. Since Forensic Psychiatry has to do with both neuroscience and the law, neurolaw is of specific relevance for this psychiatric specialty. In this contribution, I will discuss three main research areas in neurolaw – revision, assessment, and intervention – and explore their relevance for Forensic Psychiatry. I will identify some valuable possibilities as well as some notable challenges – both technical and ethical – for Forensic Psychiatry regarding neurolaw developments.

  • brain based mind reading in Forensic Psychiatry exploring possibilities and perils
    Journal of Leukocyte Biology, 2017
    Co-Authors: Gerben Meynen
    Abstract:

    One of the areas in which brain-based mind reading (BMR) may be applied is Forensic Psychiatry. The purpose of this paper is to identify opportunities and challenges for Forensic Psychiatry regarding BMR. In order to do so, a conceptual framework for BMR will be introduced, which distinguishes between three basic types of BMR, based on how they relate to the subject's knowledge. In addition, three features of BMR techniques will be articulated: first, whether they require passive cooperation; second, whether they require active cooperation; and third, whether they require that the subject is awake. Each of the types of BMR entails specific chances and risks for Forensic Psychiatry, involving, for example, confidentiality in the doctor–patient relationship and the possibility of coercive use of BMR techniques. It will be concluded that apart from legal considerations, such as tests of admissibility of evidence, professional ethics is highly relevant.

  • teaching Forensic Psychiatry in europe
    Criminal Behaviour and Mental Health, 2012
    Co-Authors: Norbert Nedopil, John Gunn, Lindsay Thomson
    Abstract:

    Background Forensic Psychiatry was long regarded as sufficiently defined by the laws of a country to be restricted by national boundaries in all but a few areas. European Union (EU) employment rights and travel facilities have changed that within the EU. Aims The goal of this research is to explore the role and development of a network of teachers and trainees in Forensic Psychiatry. Information and discussion European Union countries differ widely in the extent to which they recognise Forensic Psychiatry as a specialty and thus also in the amount of training clinicians receive before they present themselves as expert witnesses in court, or develop or run services, or manage and treat individual offender patients. Nevertheless, a summer seminar for practicing clinicians, who also present evidence to court and for bodies considering discharge of potentially dangerous patients, has proved a useful forum for joint ‘European learning’. Participants have left with a sense of improved understanding of their own law and practices as well as new perspectives on what works for offenders with mental disorder.

  • Reflections on British Forensic Psychiatry in 2003
    Mental Health Review Journal, 2003
    Co-Authors: John Gunn
    Abstract:

    At its simplest, Forensic Psychiatry can be defined as that part of Psychiatry which deals with patients and problems at the interface of the legal and psychiatric systems. The qualified Forensic psychiatrist in Britain is expected to treat mentally disordered offenders wherever they are found – in prisons, hospitals and the community. Forensic psychiatrists also give advice to other psychiatrists, to primary care doctors, to lawyers, to the police service, to social workers, and to probation officers; they provide medical evidence and formal reports in legal settings. Forensic Psychiatry has a clinical interface with virtually every other psychiatric discipline. It is a subject that uses both long-term care and security, in the broadest sense, as core skills. Britain and America lead the world development of Forensic Psychiatry, which is also beginning to develop in other affluent countries. Unusually Britain provides the major role as American Forensic Psychiatry is heavily focused on legal issues and is much less concerned with therapeutics.
