Opis: Forensic Psychiatry - Pamela Taylor, John Gunn

Comprehensive and erudite, Forensic Psychiatry: Clinical, Legal and Ethical Issues, Second Edition is a practical guide to the psychiatry of offenders, victims, and survivors of crime. This landmark publication has been completely updated but retains all the features that made the first edition such a well-established text. It integrates the clinical, legal, and ethical aspects of forensic psychiatry with contributions from internationally regarded experts from a range of clinical professions. The Second Edition features updates to all current chapters and several new chapters that explore: The genetics of antisocial behavior Disorders of brain structure and function that relate to crime Offenders with intellectual disabilities Older people and the criminal justice system Deviant and mentally ill staff Although the book focuses on jurisdictions in the UK, a substantial comparative chapter written by an international group from all five continents explores the different philosophies, legal principles, and style of services elsewhere. This book is an essential reference for specialists and postgraduate trainees in forensic psychiatry but also for general psychiatrists, and clinical and forensic psychologists. It is also an invaluable resource for other forensic mental health professionals, including nurses, social workers, occupational therapists, probation service staff, police, attorneys, criminologists, and sociologists. Praise for the Fifth Edition "The chemistry of phosphorus is so vast that it is extremely difficult to compress the important material into a single volume. Nonetheless Corbridge has managed to do this while at the same time making the material quite readable. The scope of the book is very broad, ranging from the extraction of phosphate rock to the role of palindromic sequences in DNA transcription, to metal complexes of P rings. The presentation includes a historical review which is useful and not belabored, but emphasizes fundamental synthetic transformations, structures, properties and applications." -Thomas B. Rauchfuss, in Journal of the American Chemical Society, 1996 "I have to conclude that not only does the book achieve good coverage but it also is well indexed, something very difficult for any author to achieve. Definitely recommended." -Simon Cotton, in Polyhedron, 1996 Praise for Previous Editions "...I do not know of any other monograph that covers the field of phosphorus chemistry so comprehensively in a single volume" - Angewandte Chemie "...There appears to be no other book that so comprehensively surveys the current state of inorganic, organic, & biological chemistry of phosphorus" -Journal of the American Chemical Society "1 highly recommend this book to the general chemical reader as a guide to a rapidly growing area of what has already developed into a major branch of chemistry. For an expert in the field of phosphorous chemistry it presents a fascinating overview, which is particularly valuable" -Journal of Inorganic and Nuclear Chemistry "...The frequent inserts and footnotes are bristling with information of all types and the same is true of the tables and the reaction schemes" -Nature "...a valuable contribution to the scientific literature" -Phosphorus & Potassium "...a fairly concise, yet remarkably comprehensive and well- referenced survey of all aspects of the chemistry of phosphorus" -Journal of Applied Crystallography "...this is a very useful book which should be on every phosphorus chemist's shelf" -Chemistry in Britain "The contents of this book will make it a standard reference for many years..." -United Trade Press Ltd "This is a superb scientific resource of interest to all those involved with phosphorus chemistry..." -Education in Chemistry "I feel this volume should be a standard addition to the laboratory of any chemist working directly in the field or around the periphery of phosphorus chemistry. There is probably no faster way to get acquainted with the vast world of phosphorus chemistry" -Journal of the American Chemical SocietyIntroduction Forensic psychiatry A victim-centred approach Context Medical language Achieving the knowledge and skills Further enquiry Criminal and civil law for the psychiatrist in England and Wales Common law and civil or Roman law European courts Court structure, England and Wales Criminal law in England and Wales Agencies of the law Civil law The Coroner's court Mental health and capacity laws including their administering bodies Preamble Human rights legislation Historical background Mental capacity Mental Health Act 1983 amended by the Mental Health Act 2007 Mental Capacity Act 2005 (MCA) Legal arrangements in the rest of the British Isles and Islands Preamble Scotland Northern Ireland Military law in the United Kingdom Isle of Man Channel Islands Republic of Ireland Concluding comments Forensic psychiatry and its interfaces outside the UK and Ireland The scope and limits of the comparative approach The scope and limits of this chapter National, subnational and supranational legal structures Controversial issues and shifts in public and professional opinions Forensic mental health (FMH) services and interventions under criminal and civil law: Germany and the USA Forensic psychiatric services and interventions under criminal and civil law: The Nine Nations (SWANZDSAJCS) Study Specialist recognition in Europe and SWANZDSAJCS countries Research in forensic psychiatry, psychology and allied professions Illustrative cases Conclusions Further reading Psychiatric reports for legal purposes in England and Wales The forum of the court: Background issues Constructing a report The use of reports in criminal proceedings Civil matters Examples of other documents which may be consulted The psychosocial milieu of the offender Introduction Measurement and epidemiology The natural history of offending Factors associated with delinquency and offending Explaining the development of offending Implications for prevention Conclusions Genetic influences on antisocial behaviour, problem substance use and schizophrenia: evidence from quantitative genetic and molecular genetic studies Introduction Basic genetics Genetic study methods The genetics of antisocial behaviour, problem substance use and schizophrenia Conclusions Violence Theoretical background Violence as a health issue Crimes of violence Disordered and offensive sexual behaviour Sex offending, sexual deviance and paraphilia Sex offending by females and adolescents Psychiatric questions Risk assessment Sex offender treatment Treatment or control The majority of crime: theft, motoring and criminal damage (including arson) Introduction Recording of crime Acquisitive offending Criminal damage Arson Motoring offences Overview Disorders of brain structure and function and crime Expectations and advances: Conceptualization and measurement of brain structure Epilepsy in relation to offending Sleep disorders Amnesia and offending Brain imaging studies as a route to understanding violent and criminal behaviour Serotonergic function in aggressive and impulsive behaviour: Research findings and treatment implications Implications of current knowledge of brain structure and function for forensic mental health practice and research Offenders with intellectual disabilities Clinical and legislative definitions People with intellectual disability detained in secure health service facilities in the UK Crime and people with intellectual disabilities Theories of offending applied to people with intellectual disabilities Offenders with intellectual disabilities and additional diagnoses Genetic disorders, intellectual disability and offending: Genotypes and behavioural phenotypes Alcohol and substance misuse Care pathways for offenders with intellectual disabilities Assessment and treatment of anger and aggression Assessment and treatment of sexually aggressive behaviour among people with intellectual disability Fire-setting behaviour among people with intellectual disability Assessment and management of risk of offending and/or harm to others among offenders with intellectual disabilities Legal and ethical considerations in working with offenders with intellectual disabilities Conclusions Psychosis, violence and crime Vulnerable to violence and vulnerable to being violent Psychosis and crime: The epidemiology Pathways into violence through psychosis: Distinctive or common to most violent offenders?
