Publications

Yale faculty and other YPEN experts literally “wrote the books” (and hundreds of articles) on forensic psychiatry. YPEN experts’ publications cover the fundamentals of forensic practice, report writing, specific types of forensic assessments, correctional psychiatry, juvenile justice mental health, the role of behavioral health professionals in class action litigation, standards of care, and workforce competency.

The knowledge captured in these works informs YPEN assessments and consultations. A selection of these publications is listed below. Authors whose names are in bold are Yale faculty.
