Why I See the Necessity for Such a Study Guide

It is a pleasure for me to see the publication of the new book Forensic Psychiatry and Psychology in Europe: A Cross-Border Study Guide, which has been edited by Prof. Kris Goethals from the University of Antwerp. In this book, the editor brings together authors from different countries and also from different disciplines that discuss important issues affecting the sphere of forensic psychiatry regarding their importance for the field and their consecutive relevance for the education and training of forensic psychiatrists. As the field of forensic psychiatry is characterized by a blend of different professions that are involved in and cooperate during the legal procedures, the treatment, and the rehabilitation of the patients, it is important that young psychiatrists and psychologists in training are aware of the importance of this interprofessional interactions and their presence in different countries.
