Book excerpt: Forensic and Ethical Issues in Military Behavioral Health 2015 Some of the most difficult topics in military mental health are ethical and forensic issues. Ethical issues refer to areas in which basic principles are in play: autonomy, justice, beneficence, and nonmaleficence. Forensic issues refer to the intersection of military mental health issues and the law. Written by active duty psychiatrists and psychologists from the Army, Navy, and Air Force, as well as civilians from within and outside of the Department of Defense, this book includes chapters on training about forensic issues, a legal overview of confidentiality and reporting of military behavioral health records, sanitary board evaluations, updates on disability proceedings, forensic psychological testing, death investigations and psychological autopsies, epidemiological consultation team findings, mitigation of risk and means restriction, psychiatric assistance in capital cases, posttraumatic stress disorder, substance abuse, rape and sexual trauma, suicide, and violence. New topics that were not previously covered will include behavioral science consultation teams and mefloquine and neurotoxicity.
