During the 1980s, those of us who were involved in forensic
psychiatry have seen an increase in the interest in our
subspecialty. This increased interest has been from psychiatrists,
lawyers, judges, and correctional officials as well. As a part of
this demand for our services, there has also been an increase in
the demand for detailed quality in our reports and testimony.
Whether this is the result of the educational efforts of the
American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law, the establishment of
the American Board of Forensic Psychiatry, the stimulation of
thought by the publication of this series, Critical Issues in
American Psychiatry and the Law, or Supreme Court decisions such as
Ake v Oklahoma is anybody's guess. My experience as an observer of
the development of the patient's rights movement was that there was
a coalescence of numerous forces, such as the new human rights
movement, the active mental health bar, and the development of
neuroleptics. I therefore suspect that there are a multitude of
factors contributing to the new interest in forensic psychia try
and the elevation of the standards of forensic experts. Regardless
of the causes, those who are practicing forensic psychiatry today
are ex pected to conduct more thorough evaluations and to report
findings more completely. No longer will simple conclusory
statements be accept able. The forensic psychiatrist is expected to
present data in a clear, understandable, detailed, reliable, and
competent fashion whether testi fying or in a report."
