Power Imbalances In Therapeutic And Forensic Relationships, Michael L. Perlin Jan 1991

Power Imbalances In Therapeutic And Forensic Relationships, Michael L. Perlin

Articles & Chapters

This article examines the ways that power imbalances affect relationships in the forensic mental disability system and between therapists and their clients. It considers the impact of the "dual loyalty" dilemma on forensic relationships, the manner in which courts deal with this dilemma, and suggests several points of commonality that arise around such power conflicts. It also examines recent litigation involving therapeutic relationships, and attempts to extract doctrinal threads from these cases. Finally, it recommends that, in order for the judicial system to attempt to correct any of the underlying imbalances, courts and jurors must openly come to grips with …

Unpacking The Myths: The Symbolism Mythology Of Insanity Defense Jurisprudence, Michael L. Perlin Jan 1990

Unpacking The Myths: The Symbolism Mythology Of Insanity Defense Jurisprudence, Michael L. Perlin

Articles & Chapters

The insanity defense has been the subject of great controversy. A review of the jurisprudential debate, infamous cases, judicial and legislative decision-making, media coverage, as well as public attitudes, when read in light of scientific and empirical research, reveals a gaping disparity between what we know and how we think about the mentally ill and the insanity defense. The Author argues that this disparity is the result of several operational myths about the mentally ill and the insanity defense. In this Article, the Author focuses on the role of psychiatry, psychology, and mental illness in the law, specifically addressing how …

The Use Of Statistical Evidence Of Identification In Civil Litigation: Well-Worn Hypotheticals, Real Cases, And Controversy., James Brook

Articles & Chapters

The process of forensic proof, like many decision making procedures, is a complex admixture of questions, some of which are easy and some of which are hard. What is curious, however, is that in law, un-like most other fields of endeavor in which fact finding is crucial, the incorporation of data in quantitative rather than qualitative form apparently is thought to make the decisions not easier, but more difficult. To be sure, numerical evidence and analysis is not unknown in the law,! but in the minds of many courts and individuals the possibility of "trial by the numbers" is greeted …

Legal Status Of The Psychologist In The Courtroom, Michael L. Perlin Jan 1977

Legal Status Of The Psychologist In The Courtroom, Michael L. Perlin

Articles & Chapters

In discussing the legal status of the psychologist in the courtroom, the more important but hidden issue of the social status of the psychologist must also be explored. Thus, although psychologists now routinely testify as expert witnesses on a whole range of issues in criminal and civil matters, a perception lingers in the minds of judges and jurors that the psychologist is a "second-rate" expert compared to the forensic psychiatrist. The roots of this assumption are examined, and it is suggested that psychologists themselves have helped perpetuate this myth. On the other hand, psychologists clearly do have special skills and …
