Popis: | This article provides guidance in performing clinical psychiatric evaluations of the criminally accused. The interface between the law and psychiatry raises difficult dilemmas. Through a review of military regulations and relevant case law, suggestions are provided to enhance the clinician's control, quality, and value of contribution. The clinician's need for complete disclosure from the accused soldier, in order to ensure a thorough forensic assessment, may conflict with legal concerns. The accused and the military justice system must consider specific issues, such as confidentiality and compliance. This article discusses the practical ramifications and implications of these issues.
