Abstract
This comment by Diana Brahams, Barrister at Law, is the latest on automatism in her regular series in The Lancet on the Law as it affects medicine. It is a subject to which she has had occasion to return frequently (Brahams, 1983a, 1983b, 1989) as several recent cases have developed the legal concept of automatism to the increasing confusion of many psychiatrists. Automatism has also been thoroughly discussed in a recent monograph in Psychological Medicine by Peter Fenwick (1990) which is to be recommended to anyone having to prepare a report dealing with this problem.
