Abstract
The Program in Psychiatry and the Law (the Program) resides in the Department of Psychiatry, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center—a teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School. Over the course of three decades of collaborative work, the Program has evolved from its origins in several ways. To understand this evolution, it may be valuable to place members’ contributions into perspective by offering a conceptual biography, as it were, of the Program’s ideas and activities. Such a review will also convey some sense of the functioning of the Program itself, in addition to providing a context for the articles that comprise this first of two special issues of the Journal of Psychiatry & Law.
