'Psychiatry and Criminal Responsibility: Legal, Medical and Historical Perspectives on Psychiatry in the Courtroom' workshop to be held at the University of Edinburgh on 8-9 March 2006. (360G-Wellcome-079947_Z_06_Z)

£3,000

Psychiatry and Criminal Responsibility: Legal, Medical and Historical Perspectives on Psychiatry in the Courtroom Drs Crozier and Tadros are in the initial phases of a projected long term research project in the interdisciplinary area of the history of forensic psychiatry and law. This area crosses over both Dr Crozier's historical interests in the development of psychiatric knowledge in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and Dr Tadros' legal expertise in criminal responsibility. The focus of this project is to build on the growing interest in Science Studies with science and the law. Dr Crozier and Dr Tadros co-supervise a PhD student working in this area and are hoping to encourage more students to study with them at the University of Edinburgh. Holding a workshop that explores historical and legal aspects of criminal responsibility in relation to psychiatric practice will allow them to bring together scholars from history of medicine, law and psychiatry in order to develop an interdisciplinary dialogue that will help develop a multi-faceted approach to the problem. Such dialogue will encourage reflection on the problem from a variety of angles, and will allow participants to meet colleagues from other scholarly fields whom they would otherwise not had the opportunity to meet. Many of the papers being presented - by historians, lawyers and psychiatrists - will have an historical focus, and so will address important problems in the history of forensic psychiatry.
