## Resource

Episode 80 Method, Not Madness: How Forensic Psychiatrists Help Criminal Defense Few areas of criminal law are as complex — or as consequential — as the intersection of mental illness and criminal responsibility. Host Matt Adams welcomes forensic psychiatrist Dr. Steven Simring for a deep dive into how psychiatric evaluations can influence charging decisions, trial proceedings and sentencing. Drawing on decades of forensic work, Dr. Simring explains the disciplined, methodical process forensic psychiatrists use to assess a defendant’s mental state at the time of an alleged offense and evaluate present-day competency. The episode also pulls back the curtain on the forensic evaluation process, including the evidence psychiatrists review and the careful analysis required to distinguish genuine illness from malingering.
