Abstract

Interns completing American Psychological Association-accredited internships in correctional facilities were surveyed regarding their perceptions of their internship experience. Several of the internships surveyed included a formal forensic rotation. Results revealed that these internships provided an excellent degree of core training.

Abstract

Despite the large number of incompetent defendants referred for restoration, the published literature on the process of competency restoration and the efficacy of specific interventions remains limited (Noffsinger, 2001; Pinals, 2005). The present manuscript reviews the existing literature, identifies critical components of treatment programs, summarizes the research supporting use of specific interventions, and highlights key ethical concerns/controversies. The manuscript focuses on the implications of the 2003 Sell decision for the process of competency restoration treatment. The means and resources available to forensic clinicians to help them address the Sell criteria in treatment planning, report writing, and testimony are discussed.

Abstract

When considering the issue of involuntary medication for the purpose of competency restoration treatment, judges have sometimes dictated that only certain medications or dosages are authorized. This commentary proposes that judges should recognize treatment as a fluid process and authorize (or fail to authorize) that process of treatment. When treatment is authorized, specific psychiatric decisions are best made by psychiatrists.
