Forensic Psychiatry In Switzerland, Anton Harder
Forensic Psychiatry In Switzerland, Anton Harder
Cleveland State Law Review
Forensic Psychiatry, like political, legal, esthetic, and oftentimes, religious practices, is part of the selfrealizationof a nation. In this way, different countries arrived at different and varying solutions to social problems. Although Switzerland is a small state (5.27 million people per 41,300 square kilometers) in the heart of Europe, she, nevertheless has succeeded in going her own way in Forensic Psychiatry.

Psychosomatic Disease And The Law, Carl E. Wasmuth
Psychosomatic Disease And The Law, Carl E. Wasmuth
Cleveland State Law Review
There are fundamental differences between the standard of probabilities in law upon which a jury must deliberate, andthe standard of certainty in the scientific laboratory of medicine which an investigator must respect. This conflict is nowhere more evident than in the field of psychosomatic disease. This area of medicine has long been recognized but it was only in recent years that it has become the target for intense research. This lack of medical interest in what was considered a fringe area has caused the legal profession to substitute law for medicine. Eventually, however, science will progress in the field of …
Forensic Psychiatry And The Witness - A Survey, Jewel Hammond Mack
Forensic Psychiatry And The Witness - A Survey, Jewel Hammond Mack
Cleveland State Law Review
It has been recommended that a course in Forensic Psychiatry be included in the law school curriculum. The gap between law and psychiatry-two fields closely related in many ways, certainly should be narrowed. One of the main "causes of potential justice accidents is the fallibility inherent in testimonial evidence." The effectiveness of a witness' oral testimony depends upon four factors: (1) intelligent observation of the event; (2) clear memory; (3) freedom from any compulsions to color or ignore the truth; and (4) ability to give a vivid description.
Psychosomatic Injury, Traumatic Psychoneurosis, And Law, Paul David Cantor
Psychosomatic Injury, Traumatic Psychoneurosis, And Law, Paul David Cantor
Cleveland State Law Review
This paper deals with court decisions on liability claims for injuries to the mind rather than for broken bones alone. This subject now is as important to practitioners and students of the law as it long has been to medical men. Much medical knowledge is now reflected in new interpretations by the courts, so that today the legal fact is established that a person's emotional security as well as his physical security must be protected and compensated. The author's purpose is to focus attention on the developments of recent years as well as those of earlier times, and to demonstrate …
Mental Competency And Mental Hospitals, Ewing H. Crawfis
Mental Competency And Mental Hospitals, Ewing H. Crawfis
Cleveland State Law Review
Psychiatrists generally are aware that there is not necessarily any relation between competency and hospitalization for mental illness. The consensus seems to be that these two things should be considered entirely separately. Many patients may need mental hospital care, without having suffered any impairment of their competency. My personal estimate is that 75% of all patients admitted to the average mental hospital could be considered to be competent. Also, it is well to keep in mind that an individual may require a guardian because of incompetency due to a mental disorder, but not require hospitalization in a mental hospital. Unfortunately, …
Conversion Hysteria - An Explanation For Attorneys, Ewing H. Crawfis
Conversion Hysteria - An Explanation For Attorneys, Ewing H. Crawfis
Cleveland State Law Review
Conversion Hysteria is a diagnostic term used by physicians and particularly in one specialty of medicine-namely psychiatry. Attorneys encounter this term as it is applied to certain individuals who come to them in the course of their practice particularly in cases involving personal injury and claims for compensation. This paper is being presented in an effort to explain and clarify this diagnostic term for attorneys.
