Offering a pragmatic approach to ethical dilemmas, Forensic Neuropsychiatric Ethics outlines decision-making skills for problems not addressed by other guidelines.
The volume opens with a history of forensic psychiatric ethics, forensic ethics theories, and approaches to ethical dilemmas. Subsequent sections cover considerations and applications for forensic work such as report writing, testifying, applying neuroimaging data, and participating in capital cases.
Readers will also find a nuanced discussion of several hot-button issues, including physician-assisted death, abortion, structural racism and bias, Second Amendment rights, and involuntary outpatient commitment. Filled with foundational information and practical guidance, this book is a pivotal reference for mental health clinicians committed to promoting both justice and respect for individuals while engaging in forensic work.
