Special Issue Introduction

When Jonas left Penn, he asked if I would complete his 3-year NIMH Research Program that he entitled The Center for Studies in SocialLegal Psychiatry. [...]I began my career at Penn in 1972 as a clinical assistant professor of psychiatry and Director of the Center for Studies in Social-Legal Psychiatry. During the next decade, we developed a Forensic Psychiatry Clinic, evaluating individuals sent to us by public defenders, the Legal Aid Society, and other legal service institutions.
