The Teaching Roles of the Forensic Psychiatrist

Abstract

As exemplified by the career of Robert L. Sadoff, M.D., the teaching roles of the forensic psychiatrist are enacted in medical settings (with medical students, psychiatric residents, forensic psychiatry fellows, and other fellows) and in legal settings as well (via expert witness testimony, amicus briefs, law school teaching, and legislative advocacy). New technologies and new audiences will continue to extend the educational influence of forensic psychiatrists, transforming as well as reflecting the profession's public and scientific profiles.
