Forensic Psychiatry, A Brief Introduction.
Abstract
It is intended to briefly introduce the military practitioner to the modern mental health evaluation and acquaint him or her with the fundamental adds of presenting or opposing an insanity defense. Users must keep in mind that a thorough treatment of the subject is beyond the scope of this pamphlet; it is but an introduction. The first section discusses the legal aspects of the insanity issue, examining subjects from mental responsibility to mental evaluations under the Military Rules of Evidence. Section two contains the notetaking guide for a Naval Justice School lecture on this topic. Three appendices are included. The first two contain samples of material mentioned in the text and commonly encountered in the evaluation process, while the last is a brief bibliography for further reference.
