- W766049342 abstract "This thesis explores the role of forensic psychiatrists as expert witnesses in criminal trials using the insanity defence in New Zealand. It relies on data generated through qualitativeresearch methods and provides thick descriptions??? of how the role works in practice asforensic psychiatrists, together with the instructing lawyers, construct the defence. Multipledata sources were accessed, including thirty-one interviews with lawyers and forensicpsychiatrists, observation of a high profile criminal case, and interpretation of clinical andlegal texts. The research extends the existing medico-legal literature that has studied therelationship between psychiatry and law and provides analysis which contributes to currentdebates around the use of psychiatric expertise in cases of insanity.Drawing on contemporary socio-legal studies, the research focuses on the hybrid nature ofthe insanity defence, the hybrid expertise forensic psychiatrists??? practise as expert witnesses,and the symbiotic relationship between lawyers and forensic psychiatrists that occurs in thiscontext. This thesis argues that the insanity defence is a hybrid construct that brings lawyersand forensic psychiatrists together in such a way that the boundaries, which should ideallydefine their discrete functions, become blurred. The way the insanity defence shapes forensicpsychiatrists??? practices, and the relationship between lawyers and forensic psychiatrists, isalso explored. The forensic psychiatrists??? practices are shown to be inextricably linked to thelegal requirements for an expert witness and the defence of insanity. From this perspective,the forensic psychiatrists are not ???doing psychiatry??? as they would in a therapeutic setting,but rather they practise a hybridised expertise that reflects the hybrid nature of the insanitydefence. The symbiotic relationship that occurs in practice as lawyers and psychiatrists make a case for insanity is demonstrated. This implicates lawyers in the production of effective expert testimony and illustrates how the defence of insanity is co-produced by both professionals in the courtroom.This thesis highlights how the boundaries that aim to separate the responsibilities of forensicpsychiatrists, lawyers and fact-finders become blurred in practice. It contends that thesefindings have significant implications for not only the continued use of forensic psychiatrists in cases of insanity, but also public understandings of madness." @default.
