The Handbook of Forensic Mental Health in Africa traces the history
of forensic mental health in Africa, discussing the importance of
considering cultural differences when implementing
Western-validated practices on the continent while establishing
state-of-the-art assessment and treatment of justice-involved
persons. Experts in the field of forensic mental health throughout
Africa explore the current state of forensic mental health policy
and service provision, as well as the unique ethical challenges
which have arisen with the recent growth of interest in the field.
The African and international research literature on violence risk
assessment, competency to stand trial, malingering assessment, Not
Guilty by Reason of Insanity (NGRI) evaluations, report writing as
an expert witness and mental health legislation in the context of
forensic practice are explored throughout. Finally, future
directions for forensic mental health in Africa are discussed for
juvenile, female and elderly offenders. This text is ideal for
mental health, criminal justice and legal professionals working in
clinical, research and policy contexts.
