Criminal responsibility and mental disorder in Britain and North America: a comparative study.

The relationship between criminal responsibility and mental disorder is traced and described in England, Scotland, Canada and the United States of America. In Britain the Mental Health Acts have now made argument over criminal responsibility and mental disorder largely obsolete, also bringing an increased medical influence to the dispositions, by the Courts, of mentally disordered offenders. In North America the question of the criminal responsibility of a mentally disordered accused remains an essential cornerstone in the equitable management of such individuals by the legal system. This article explores some of the problems encountered in the differing approaches.

Psychiatry in the Canadian Correctional Service.

This paper traces the development of psychiatric services for offenders suffering from mental disorders within the Correctional Service of Canada from the 19th century to the present day. The major milestone in the development of these services was the report to the Solicitor General of Canada in 1972 entitled "The General Programme for the Development of Psychiatric Services in Federal Correctional Services in Canada (Chalke Report). The report resulted in the development of the regional psychiatric centres, which remain the cornerstone of psychiatric services within the Canadian federal correctional system. Based on the authors' own experiences working at Corrections Canada, the paper endeavours to explore the psychiatric services now being offered and the difficulties remaining.

Polymorphonuclear leucocyte chemotaxis in response to leukotriene B4 in treated and untreated psoriatics.

Various chemoattractants have been implicated in the aetiology of the polymorphonuclear leucocyte (PMN) migration into the epidermis seen in early lesions of psoriasis. Using an under-agarose technique, the in vitro chemotactic responses of PMN to the arachidonic acid lipoxygenase product leukotriene B4 (LTB4) were assayed in five groups of subjects: normal healthy volunteers (n = 12), untreated psoriatics (n = 11) and psoriatics treated with topical tar (n = 12), PUVA (n = 11) and UVB phototherapy (n = 10). No significant difference was observed between the responses of control subjects and of untreated psoriatics, nor between the untreated psoriatic group and the PUVA- and UVB-treated groups, respectively. However, comparison of the tar-treated and untreated groups revealed a significantly increased chemotactic response to LTB4 in the tar-treated group (p less than 0.01).

Filicidal impulses as an anniversary reaction to childhood incest.

Successful psychotherapy with a potentially filicidal woman is described. The case clearly illustrates how childhood incestuous experiences may later result in the formation of filicidal impulses. This occurred when the patient's daughter reached the age at which the patient herself had experienced incest (anniversary reaction).
