"This was a rich, complex, and carefully written presentation of seminal and original thinking by three highly respected and experienced forensic psychiatrists....The take-away message from this thoughtful volume is that, in the authors' opinion, it is possible and perhaps highly desirable, in carefully selected situations, to wear two hats and combine the role of therapist with that of an expert witness....These well respected authors argue in a persuasive fashion and hopefully have sparked a worthwhile debate and a new look at the old maxim."

"Forensic experts must struggle with the conflicting ethical demands of two roles, that of the clinician devoted to the care of patients, and that of the legal expert committed to the pursuit of justice. Whereas previous attempts to bridge this chasm have sought to separate these roles and avoid conflicts of interest, the authors of this volume have taken a radically different perspective. They have developed an integrated ethical approach based on a richly nuanced view of professional integrity. This book will surely shape the field of forensic ethics for years to come."

"Rich in concepts and provocative examples, this monograph on aspirational ethics takes us from history to practice to pitfalls an expert witness may encounter in this complex work. The authors, professional ethicists, skillfully orchestrate the viewpoints of different disciplines, using the techniques of the forum, the dialogue, and the argument to enrich their discussions of ethical dilemmas. As an added bonus, instruction on ethical principles and reasoning is woven through the material. This would be an excellent text for ethics courses as well as an aid to the practitioner."

"Candilis, Weinstock and Martinez make a major contribution to the discussion of bioethics and forensic psychiatry. The authors provide a comprehensive, clearly written history of bioethics and their own intriguing approach, "Robust Professionalism," to the analysis of ethical issues confronting forensic psychiatrists. They use the crucible of case examples to explore the strengths and weakness of a number of ethical systems and to demonstrate the components of sound ethical reasoning. A pleasure to read, this informative book is essential reading for forensic psychiatrists, scientific experts who provide courtroom testimony, attorneys and bioethicists."

"Candilis and his colleagues have done a masterful job of setting out this history of forensic psychiatry ethics. Their scholarly explication of the subject also makes clear how complicated it is to work ethically in this subspecialty arena of medicine. This is a landmark text that makes a brilliant contribution to forensic ethics precisely because it is balanced, thoughtful, and persistently relevant to the work of forensic psychiatrists."
