Forensic Psychiatry Information

Description

Forensic psychiatry uses the legal aspect of psychiatry to aid in court cases. Expert psychiatric testimony influences legal verdicts and judgments. A forensic psychiatrist evaluates individuals involved in court cases, plays an important part in custody suits, and provides treatment to incarcerated patients. He or she can determine competency in criminal cases, in legal business procedures (such as contracts or investments), and give assistance in harassment and discrimination cases.
