Abstract

Abstract This chapter from Vice and Psychiatric Diagnosis considers the issues posed by the vice/mental disorder relationship (VMDR) from the perspectives of criminal law and the criminal justice system (CJS) as institutions. An analysis of the respective aims, methods, and metaphysical assumptions of law and medicine is presented as a lead-in to the practical interests courts and the CJS have regarding psychiatric expertise, diagnostic categories, and concepts. Criminal law and the CJS have substantive differences from the aims, methods, modes of reasoning, and values of clinical medicine and psychiatry, and comparisons between the respective institutions sheds light upon the origins of many aspects of the VMDR.
