• W139020617 abstract "INTRODUCTION Courts often call upon forensic mental health professionals to assess challenging and complex questions ranging from trial-related competen cy of criminal defendants to the ef fects of mental illness on criminal responsibility. Although the specifici ty of court orders for forensic evalu ation can vary greatly, in many cases the orders do not define clearly the mental health issue that the court wants addressed.2 Requests for pre sentencing evaluations can be confus ing for the forensic expert. What kind of information does a court seek when it asks a mental health professional for a presentenc ing evaluation? Statutes and case law typically provide little guidance. The referring court and attorneys may be vague or uncertain about what they seek and the issues they want ad dressed. Some courts use the evalu ation to help decide which defen dants to divert from the legal system to the mental health system. Fre quently a bizarre crime or a crazy defendant precipitates the evaluation request. The referral question, if specified at all, may be a broad request for diagnostic and treatment information. Despite the potential lack of clarity as to the focus of presentence mental health evaluations, statutes and case law exist that provide for, or require, such evaluations for some defen dants.*4'5'6'7'8 In capital cases, the U.S. Supreme Court has recognized a defendant's need for psychiatric as sistance to counter the state's psychi atric evidence of future danger ousness.9 Defendants also may have a right to psychiatric assistance in es tablishing mental illness as a mitigat ing factor even in the absence of any psychiatric evidence presented by the state.10 However, at least one court held that the decision to order a mental health evaluation rests with the discretion of the trial court.11 Other courts have limited defen dants' rights to presentencing evalu ations to attempts to rebut expert testimony by the state12 or to circum stances in which evidence exists that mental disease or defect substantially contributed to the commission of the crime.13 In many jurisdictions, the general trend has been toward man datory sentences and less discretion for the sentencing judge. This may limit the impact of psychiatric evi dence, but it is unlikely that sentenc ing courts will ever completely forego mental health information. This paper presents a conceptual and practical model for mental health presentencing evaluations, including a guide to courts on when to request such evaluations and how to focus those requests." @default.
