The Twenty-Second Maudsley Lecture: Psychiatry in the Criminal Courts

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  08 February 2018

Extract

Those responsible for these lectures took their courage in both hands when they chose me to follow in the line of the eminent doctors and lawyers who preceded me. For I am in no way a Very Important Person. I held the lowest of judicial offices, though in my opinion one of the most important. But while emphasizing your courage, I want to assure you very sincerely that I am fully conscious that it is a great honour to be selected for this task. Indeed, I am somewhat overawed, but I can only try my best.
