Excerpt
Since the last edition of this textbook was published in 2010, the body of published research on the intersection of mental health and information and communications technology (ICT) has expanded significantly. Although most of the recent studies have focused on clinical applications of ICT, the forensic use of ICT has also grown in the past several years. Furthermore, the adoption of ICT among the general public has continued its steady rise, reaching further into all segments of society. The Internet and related technologies are increasingly relevant to both clinical and forensic practice. This chapter describes several ways in which the Internet and other ICT (such as telepsychiatry) may impact the practice of forensic psychiatry.
