"Bernard Diamond's influence on forensic psychiatry during the last half of the twentieth century is unsurpassed in clarity and wisdom. His major writings, now brought together in one volume, should be read and re-read by all those who want to find their way in the complex and confusing interface of psychiatry and law."
