Diminished Responsibility

With Special Reference to Singapore

By: Lee Peng Kok,Molly Cheang,Kuan Tsee Chee

This book is primarily designed as a sourcebook for lawyers and psychiatrists who are interested or involved in the subject of diminished responsibility. It is an attempt to convey a general picture of the concept which shows how it has been interpreted by the courts and expert witnesses. The book begins with an overview and analysis of the concept of diminished responsibility and a general introduction of where law and psychiatry intersect in this area. Thereafter the authors adopt the traditional approach of describing and discussing basic principles in relation to the various aspects of "abnormality of mind" as envisaged under the definition of diminished responsibility, before passing to a study of actual cases. The final chapter is an attempt to deal with and confront what are perceived to be the potentially problematical issues (recommending proposals wherever feasible) in which the complex relationship between law and psychiatry is presently concerned in interpreting diminished responsibility.

Mental Disorders and the Law

By: Lee Peng Kok,Molly Cheang,Kuan Tsee Chee

Although numerous books have been separately written on mental disorders and law, there is as yet no readily accessible literature dealing with both these disciplines in a single volume in Singapore and Malaysia. This present text is therefore intended to fill this gap with two aims in mind, i.e., to address the need for a practical manual useful for ready reference to the clinician, the lawyer advising his client and also for other interested laymen, and for the reader's general information and knowledge. Each chapter is structured to provide an overview of both the psychiatric and legal aspects of the subject matter. Wherever applicable or feasible, an analysis of local cases is made and comparative evaluation attempted with materials from other countries, especially those prevailing in common law and Anglo-American jurisdictions. The local law as presented in this book applies to both Singapore and Malaysia but where there exist differences, these are highlighted in the text itself.

Guide To Psychiatry: Singapore Perspective (16th Revision)

By: Kuan Tsee Chee

This Guide to Psychiatry — Singapore Perspective is the 16th revision of the original series of 'Guide to Psychiatry' which has been revised and updated every two to three years since the early 1980s. It was originally meant for new doctors posted to Woodbridge Hospital/Institute of Mental Health. However, its distribution was extended later to colleagues, general practitioners, psychologists, medical students, allied mental health workers and interested others.Much of the subject matter derives from five decades of personal clinical experience and thoughts and may be unorthodox. The current publication or version remains a guide to appreciation of psychiatry and management of local patients. Attempts are made to explain concepts, development, issues, ambiguities and principles that are commonly confronted and confusing to beginners. Analogies are freely used to aid understanding. As mentioned in earlier revisions, it does not fulfil the role of a textbook of which many have been written. Nevertheless, this little book could be read over and again with benefit by training psychiatrists, medical doctors and students and other mental health workers.
