摘要:

In Scandinavia during the past decade forensic psychiatry has been the subject of discussions, which have occasionally reached the height of vehement attacks. Changes in penal laws have expressed a declining interest in the cooperation of psychiatrists in the evaluation and treatment of offenders.Scandinavian forensic psychiatrists, lawyers and criminologists have analyzed and discussed the present situation and have found that there is still a need and justification for forensic psychiatry. Higher priority, however, should be given to psychiatric contributions at the stage after disposition, at the post‐trial level. The diagnostic activities at the pre‐trial level should be limited to what is necessary for further dispositions.The development of forensic (penal) psychiatry and the trends within the individual Scandinavian countries differ considera

摘要:

An attempt is made to give a description of the functions of forensic psychiatry in the Scandinavian countries, including some statistical information on activities and persons involved. Definitions are given. Organizational differences in preparing psychiatric reports to the court in the five countries are outlined, as are the ways in which psychiatrists participate at the post‐trial level. Some problems and divergent trends are mentioned.It is concluded that a demand for psychiatric evaluation and treatment of offenders who are psychotic or moderately and more severely mentally retarded will continue to exist, whereas it seems unclear how psychiatrists should deal with the psychiatric problems of offenders with other mental abnormalities.Forensic psychiatric research should include analyses of the functions of this discipline (frequency studies, studies of content, organization and effect

摘要:

In Denmark the desire for psychiatric cooperation within the juridical system has on the whole been on the decline during the past decades. This applies both to the writing of psychiatric reports to the court, and to the sanction system.Within civil forensic psychiatry, practice is almost unchanged and unchallenged, while the demand for one form of social forensic psychiatry has been drastically reduced with the liberalization of abortion and sterilization laws.The present practice of penal forensic psychiatry is described. Remarks on the future organization and research are made.

摘要:

During the last 3 years the number of prisoners in Finland has risen, being for the moment 105 per 100,000 inhabitants, one of the highest rates in Europe. This is dependent not only on the increase in criminality, but on the traditionally very severe scale of punishments applied. The penal institutions now have a 50 % overloading.The actual situation of forensic and penal psychiatric work is characterized by overloaded services, long waiting lists and a generally irritated atmosphere.

摘要:

This paper gives a brief survey of forensic psychiatry in Iceland at the present time. Because of few inhabitants and limited financial resources there are no special forensic psychiatric institutions in the country, nor any forensic psychiatrists; this kind of work is mainly carried out by general psychiatrists, but also to a certain extent by general practitioners.Formalitites around compulsory admission and detention of mental patients, uncooperative and lacking insight, are briefly described. The psychiatric examination of probably mentally ill offenders is also accounted for. Such investigations are without doubt the main task of forensic psychiatry in Iceland to‐day.Finally the main faults of forensic psychiatric services in Iceland and the very limited educational facilities in this domain are referred to. Some future plans are also mentione

摘要:

A description is given of the use and functions of mental reports preceding the sentence. The problems ‐ mainly the long waiting times for observations, the concentration on diagnosis, and the forensic psychiatrist's isolation from treatment work ‐ associated with the present system are pointed out. The article also contains a brief account of psychiatric treatment within the penal system, inside and outside prisons, and a description of the Uppsala Clinic for Forensic Psychiatry, where the patients during observation for mental reports are treated in accordance with the ideas of “therapeutic community”. A report, with recommendations for reforms, can be expected at the beginning

摘要:

A brief review of the literature concerning familial transvestism is given. The case history of father‐son heterosexual transvestism is presented. The son appears to have been ignorant of his father's transvestism. Early childhood experiences as an aetiological factor seem inadequate to explain the similarities of the two subjects' transvestite behaviour. It is suggested that constitutional factors play a part in the aetiology of heterosexual transvestis

摘要:

The relation between lithium dose, lithium concentrations, and lithium gradients in plasma and the side effects tremor, nausea, abdominal pains, and loose bowels was studied in 19 subjects. Rapidly dissolving lithium carbonate tablets were used.Tremor was related to higher doses, to higher concentrations, and to higher gradients of lithium in plasma. Nausea was related to higher gradients. Abdominal pain and loose bowels showed no relation to doses, levels or gradients. Concentrations of lithium were dose‐dependent, while gradients were relatively independent of dos
