Furthermore, new legal cases have been incorporated to reflect recent legislative changes, including diminished responsibility, deprivation of liberty, and automatism. Additionally, the handbook includes new sections on forensic psychotherapy, cross-cultural diagnostic validity, and radicalization. Alongside practical guidance on navigating clinical and legal complexities, it provides concise examples, summaries of relevant legislation, and introductions to diverse ethical approaches and clinical observations. With a unique focus on the intersection between psychiatry and law, this title serves as a vital resource for forensic psychiatrists, lawyers, and judges alike.
