The purpose of this brief chapter is to address overarching themes in forensic psychology and psychiatry that apply to assessment of criminal law issues. Beyond theory, these overarching themes have direct relevance to forensic practice.We combine general issues from the Foundations of Practice with the forensic science and practice as they relate to specific psycholegal standards arising from criminal law. This integrative chapter further prepares criminal attorneys and forensic psychologists and psychiatrists by broadening the discussion across the existing methods, knowledge, and standards.
