Forensic psychiatry is an emerging branch of psychiatry in South Asian countries. The countries of the region have just started to concentrate on its importance. Very little is known about the extent of problems and available mental health services. The volume editors have not found a comprehensive book compiling the scenario from these eight countries. Therefore, this book will be the first of its kind. It will be helpful for clinical psychiatrists, psychiatric trainees, academics, researchers, legal practitioners, policymakers, and NGO personnel working with law enforcement and mental health.

The book aims to provide a comprehensive evaluation of forensic psychiatry and related issues in South Asian countries. It will cover varied areas in this field, such as mental health and addiction laws capacity assessment, insanity defense, criminal responsibility, and prison mental health issues. The book will discuss these topics thoroughly, keeping in mind regional differences, such as different mental health legislatures and cultural variations.
