  • Violence and criminal responsibility
  • Competence to stand trial
  • Child custody disputes
  • Psychic injury and mental disability
  • Involuntary treatment and ethics

Given the diverse nature of forensic psychiatry, practitioners often pursue further training to refine their expertise in specific areas.

Professional Development

  1. Completion of an undergraduate degree
  2. Medical school training
  3. Residency in general psychiatry
  4. Fellowship in forensic psychiatry

Upon completing these steps, professionals may seek board certification to enhance their career prospects.
