Global Perspectives in Forensic Psychiatry: International Approaches to Practice, Policies, and the Law is an essential guide to understanding the international landscape of forensic mental health systems.

This book presents global perspectives in forensic psychiatry and research, highlighting how national contexts and legal frameworks shape mental health care systems across multiple continents. Contributors from over 25 countries describe national approaches to the assessment, treatment, and management of justice-involved individuals with mental disorders. In doing so, the contributors encourage policymakers to draw from both well-established and developing forensic psychiatric systems to inform international discourse, interpret research, and enhance the ongoing evolution of best practice approaches. Key topics include historical and cultural principles, training and quality assurance, and contemporary policies and procedures.

This volume is an essential resource for forensic mental health professionals, clinicians, and researchers. It will inform training, service delivery, and future research on justice-involved individuals with mental disorders.
