Abstract

1. The neuropsychiatrist and his role in army legal procedures have been discussed from the viewpoint of the specialist and the attorney. 2. The military psychiatrist who serves as an expert witness in courts martial and military board proceedings and who wishes to avoid embarrassment should acquaint himself with the Army Regulations, Articles of War, and courts martial procedures pertaining to such subjects. 3. The specialist in mental diseases should confine his testimony, when it is an expression of his own, personal, clinical opinion, to a “belief” and not offer it as scientifically established, didactic fact; using simple, straightforward language which laymen can easily comprehend.
