Likewise, the main thrust of dynamic psychotherapy, is independent of forensic issues. Nevertheless, there is a pre serve of clinical responsibility within forensic psychiatry which, on occasion, justly invokes the aid of dynamic psy chotherapy. This may be when the scope of th...
The formal process of specialization and subspecialization in medicine began at the start of the 20th century.

This milestone was achieved through the efforts of many leaders in the field, and prominent among them has been ...
