Conference Agenda
| TIME | TOPIC | SPEAKER |
| 8:00 – 8:15 AM | Welcome/Introduction | |
| 8:15 – 9:15 AM | The History of Forensic Psychiatry This engaging presentation will trace the line of conceptions of mental illness as it applies to criminal justice systems from ancient civilizations to modern times. At the end of the presentation, participants will be able to understand the concept of culpability for criminal acts and the history of the insanity defense and its connections to current standards. |
Allegra Condiotte MD |
| 9:30 – 10:30 AM | Black Robes and White Coats: Trends in forensic psychiatry While some aspects of the practice of forensic psychiatry have remained relatively stable over recent times, others are changing rapidly. Likewise, the changing political landscape, the crisis in drug use, enhanced appreciation of racial and cultural issues, and the awareness of effects of trauma have necessitated a greater understanding of key principles and application of mental health law (both here and abroad) and immigration law for non-forensic psychiatrists. In this presentation, Dr. Lopez will discuss current concepts and emerging practices in forensic psychiatry |
Maya Lopez, MD, FAPA |
| 10:45 – 11:45 AM | Conference Panel: Autonomy and Consent in Psychiatry Autonomy and consent are foundational to the treatment decisions we make every day, but at times it can be hard to identify whether a patient is legally or ethically capable of making decisions on their own behalf. How do we manage these situations? Hear from a panel of psychiatrists and a lawyer with experience managing complex consent and capacity concerns – from childhood to the end of life |
