Abstract

Abstract The purpose of this secondary analysis of an archival sample of 100 Canadian men remanded for evaluations of fitness to stand trial was to investigate the relationships among fitness, competence to make treatment decisions, and psychosis. As hypothesized, competence to make treatment decisions was more often impaired in those with impaired fitness. Among unfit defendants, a diagnosis of a psychotic disorder also related to impaired competence to make treatment decisions. The issue of competence to make treatment decisions may have utility for evaluations and restoration of fitness to stand trial and tending to it may help to alleviate systems burdens.
在加拿大样本中对出庭适应度、作出治疗决定的能力和精神病的检验
摘要对100名被还押候审的加拿大男子的档案样本进行二次分析的目的是调查健康状况、做出治疗决定的能力和精神病之间的关系。正如假设的那样,那些体质受损的人做出治疗决定的能力更经常受损。在不称职的被告中,精神病障碍的诊断也与做出治疗决定的能力受损有关。做出治疗决定的能力问题可能有助于评估和恢复是否适合接受试验,并有助于减轻系统负担。
