Description
Excerpt from The Unsound Mind and the Law: A Presentation of Forensic Psychiatry
In the first main division of the book I purpose treating of the general relation that jurisprudence bears to psychiatry and more especially to consider, in addition to simulation and dis simulation and the self-accusations of the insane, the various degrees of responsibility and the significance they bear to our civil and criminal procedures.
The second main division will be devoted to psychiatric expertism and will describe the manifestations by means Of which the most important psychoses and neuro-psychoses may be recognized. The third part is devoted to a consideration of hypnosis and anomalies of sexual sense, and the fourth and last part will indicate the manner in which written or verbal expert Opinions are to be formed and rendered.
In this work I hope to be able to do justice to the require ments of the physician as well as to those of the jurist. It has, however, been far from my purpose to write a book on forensic psychiatry in general, for which reason I have endeavored to limit myself to those questions Of juristic psychiatry that may be designated as borderline.
