The Relationship

In this chapter, the relationship between psychopathology and law is examined by focusing on decision-making capacity (or competence). Jaspers’s methodological pluralism and an approach to psychopathology drawing upon phenomenology as a philosophical, qualitative discipline inform the interdisciplinary approach taken in the chapter. Starting with a short introduction to the legal components of valid consent, it then focuses on decision-making capacity (DMC) in the context of frontal brain injury, schizophrenia, and depression. DMC is examined using clinical epidemiological methods (in Jaspers’s mode of explanation) and using clinical phenomenological methods (Jaspers’s mode of understanding). It is argued that this interdisciplinary approach can further knowledge of the relevant decision-making abilities and inabilities and put us in a better position to implement strategies for DMC assessment in practice.

The observation reveals the diagnostic capabilities of computed tomography to address issues arising in the implementation of forensic medical examinations. It considers a case of computed tomography used to determine the nature of brain injury in a 1-month-old baby. Cranial injuries detected by computed tomography had characteristic signs indicating the compression mechanism of causing brain injury. An interdisciplinary approach made it possible to exclude causes for a child's head injuries resulting from a fall.

Abstract Purpose: While the co-morbidity of symptoms associated with traumatic brain injury (TBI) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in the injured military population is currently being discussed and researched, those of us in the rehabilitation fields need to be ready now to serve this complex population. We are challenged to provide the best services with limited research and evidence-based practices to guide us. This article presents an interdisciplinary approach to treatment for soldiers with TBI. Method: We compare and contrast the blast-induced brain injury acquired in the military population, designated as the “signature injury of this war,” to “typical” TBI populations. Results and conclusions: We share what we have learned by serving this population and present each discipline's assessments, treatment strategies, outcome measures, and suggestions for navigating the military “mindset” of the soldiers being served.

Background. The existing literature on the effectiveness of interventions targeting vision, visual-perceptual impairments following acquired brain injury (ABI) is scarce and unlinked to occupational performance. Purpose. To explore current occupational therapy practice in vision-rehabilitation among adults with ABI in Canada, and to determine the evidence-practice gaps. Methods. An online survey was made available through the Canadian Association of Occupational Therapists (CAOT) website, and disseminated to seven public healthcare institutions in Quebec. The survey collected respondent demographic information, and the types and frequency of treatments delivered. Descriptive statistics were conducted to determine interventions’ frequency. Participant comments were collected and grouped into recurring themes. Findings. Over half (55%) of respondents regularly use evidence-based interventions when addressing visual acuity (VA) and visual field (VF) deficits, but only very few (3%) use it when dealing with oculomotor function and visual stress impairments. Implications. Results gave a glimpse of interventions used and suggested the need for further research in vision rehabilitation.
