This chapter describes the collaboration between the Institute of Law, Psychiatry, and Public Policy at the University of Virginia and the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services in the Commonwealth. It is the longest running of the collaborations described in this book, having been in operation for nearly 50 years, and it involves activities in the areas of consultation on policy development, forensic training (including fellowships and other specialized training), public and professional education in mental health law, and the operation of a forensic assessment clinic. It serves as a national model, and many of the current leaders in mental health law and forensic psychiatry and psychology have received or provided training as part of this collaboration. |
