n African Journal of Psychiatry - Forensic psychiatry, DSM-V and legal insanity : letter to editor

Abstract

Kaliski's rhetorical expose titled: "Will forensic psychiatry survive DSM-5?" reminds forensic psychiatrists of the reality of the ever blurring boundary between "badness" and "madness". He discussed quite profoundly, certain fanciful conditions that had been synthesized recently e.g. paedo-hebephilia, paraphilic coercive disorder, etc. and are being proposed for inclusion in DSM-V.
