Aims & Scope
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.
