Reviews

“Forensic psychiatry thrives on connection across jurisdictions. This volume reflects that spirit by bringing together diverse perspectives and highlighting the structural, legal, and ethical complexities that shape forensic mental health systems worldwide. It will be a valuable resource for those working to build services that are responsive, equitable, and evidence-informed.” Prof. Sandy Simpson, Research Chair in Forensic Psychiatry and Senior Scientist at CAMH, Canada “Global Perspectives in Forensic Psychiatry offers a rare opportunity to reflect on how forensic psychiatry is shaped in different countries, through policy decisions, clinical demands, and shifting ideas of risk and responsibility. With a strong focus on systems and context, it will be useful to those working in research, service delivery and program development.” Dr. Nathan J. Kolla, Professor of Forensic Psychiatry, Centre for Forensic Behavioural Science, Swinburne University of Technology, Australia “This book reflects the kind of international exchange we need more of in forensic psychiatry. By exploring how different jurisdictions address complex clinical and legal issues, it offers practical insight for those leading and reforming services worldwide.” Dr. Carlos Hugo Isaac Serna, Secretary of the Forensic Psychiatry Section, World Psychiatric Association
