Excerpt
The basic competencies of forensic psychiatry include conducting an evaluation, writing a forensic report, and testifying at trial. Each of these competencies has its own skill set, and the forensic psychiatrist must be competent in all three because poor performance at any stage will adversely affect the end product. In this chapter, I provide an overview of forensic evaluation and report writing and discuss concepts that can be applied to different types of civil and criminal forensic assessment.
