The International Journal of Law and Psychiatry is intended to provide a
multi-disciplinary forum for the exchange of ideas and information among
professionals concerned with the interface of law and psychiatry. There is a
growing awareness of the need for exploring the fundamental goals of both
the legal and psychiatric systems and the social implications of their
interaction. The journal seeks to enhance understanding and cooperation in
the field through the varied approaches represented, not only by law and
psychiatry, but also by the social sciences and related disciplines. The
Editors and Publisher wish to encourage a dialogue among the experts from
different countries whose diverse legal cultures afford interesting and
challenging alternatives to existing theories and practices. Priority will
therefore be given to articles which are oriented to a comparative or
international perspective. The journal will publish significant conceptual
contributions on contemporary issues as well as serve in the rapid
dissemination of important and relevant research findings.

The International Journal of Law and Psychiatry is published bimonthly in
English; wherever possible, translated articles are accompanied by an
abstract in the original language. The views expressed in this journal do
not necessarily reflect those of the editors.
