Forensic psychiatry and psychology

Forensic psychiatry is a specialty, which goes beyond clinical psychiatry and borders on somatic medicine, with the legal sciences, criminology, Criminalistics, penology and victimology. The fourth edition of this successful book attempts to cover a wide range of issues from the perspective of adult clinical psychiatry, paedopsychiatry, sexology and clinical psychology, including the numerous changes in legislation in the last two years. The individual areas have been worked on by experts working in the above-mentioned fields for many years and their experience is conveyed in a form understandable for psychiatrists and psychologists as well as for lawyers and police investigators. They introduce the reader to the new psychiatric nomenclature, unify as much as possible the opinions of experts on various difficult problems, and supplement everything with interesting case reports.
