It is the writer's hope that the writing of this paper will arouse greater public interest in the subject and in so doing to further remove the public prejudice heaped upon the unfortunate victims of mental illness. This is important as public cooperation is very necessary for the rapid rehabilitation of these patients. So it is useful for everyone to know something about psychiatry and the law in general, and about their interaction in particular. |
