- Title
Toward a good fit between forensic psychiatrists and psychologists.
- Authors
Dattilio, Frank M.
- Abstract
The longstanding relationship between forensic psychiatrists and psychologists has been fraught with tension and controversy over the years, particularly pertaining to the issue of their overlapping roles and what some consider a competitiveness in the field. This article reviews some of that controversy and also addresses the issue of how psychiatrists and psychologists actually do different things and can work harmoniously in a collaborative fashion. The text also addresses how this collaborative relationship can be best promoted--not only through forensic training programs, but also in the eyes of attorneys and jurists.
