Psychiatry
Forensic psychiatry is a specialised branch of psychiatry which deals with the assessment and treatment of mentally disordered offenders in prisons, secure hospitals and the community. It requires sophisticated understanding of the interface between mental health and the law.
Psychiatrists are probably the most widely used of expert witnesses in both Prosecution and Defence cases. They can be instructed to assist the Court in deciding whether a defendant is fit to plead, for a variety of other issues relating to both the defendant and prosecution witnesses and to assist in determining the most appropriate sentence.

” I have also instructed Dr Schrader on a number of occasions, most recently to assist in determining whether a client’s mental health problems contributed to her decision making and judgement whereby she could possibly have the defence of duress.
