The Right

This chapter represents a first effort at exploring ethics concerns at the intersections of forensic psychiatry and religion. It surveys several areas where this convergence occurs: criminal cases in which religious delusions of the defendant figured prominently in the defense; civil cases involving the right to refuse treatment secondary to religious beliefs; the complexities of applying empathy to forensic evaluations where the physician’s task is not focused on healing the individual; the challenges of permitting certain forms of religious practice in maximum security forensic hospitals; and the interplay of constructs of forgiveness, reconciliation, remorse, and insight in treating persons found not guilty by reason of mental illness of serious, violent crimes. The choice of these particular topics is not meant to exhaust the conjunction of these interdisciplinary interests but hopefully provides a place to begin their consideration.

Right To Refuse

Chapter 9 describes cases related to one of the most important autonomy issues involved in the involuntary hospitalization of individuals with mental illness—the right to refuse treatment. These cases highlight the different judicial opinions about how to manage patients who refuse treatment as exemplified by the contrast between a treatment-driven approach in Rennie v. Klein, to a rights-driven approach in Rogers v. Commissioner. Other cases included in this chapter are Application of the President and Directors of Georgetown, Superintendent of Belchertown State School v. Joseph Saikowitz, and In the Matter of the Guardianship of Richard Roe, III.

With the increasing use of neuroimaging research in psychiatry and the role imaging plays in society more generally in how mental illness is understood, it is important to consider the myriad ethical issues raised by imaging technologies, for example, for medicine, for law, and for patients. This chapter provides an overview of major ethical questions concerning: imaging of ethical reasoning in psychiatric disorder; forensic psychiatry, criminality, and responsibility; mindblindness and empathy in autism; the use of neuroimaging for screening, prediction, and diagnosis; “mind reading” and the right to privacy of thoughts; and the implications of imaging for the ethics and politics of biological psychiatry.

Italian Constitution

Art. 24 of the 1948 Declaration of Human Rights recognises and protects the right of the individual to rest and leisure. This right has to be fully exercised without negative consequences on the right to work and the remuneration. Tourism can be considered one of the best ways of rest and leisure because it allows to enrich the personality of the individual. Even after the reform of the Title V this area is no longer covered by the Italian Constitution, the Italian legal system protects and guarantees it as a real right, so as to get to recognize its existence and the consequent compensation of the so-called “ruined holiday damage”. This kind of damage has not a patrimonial nature, but a moral one, and the Tourist-Traveler can claim for it when he has not been able to fully enjoy his holiday - the essential fulcrum of tourism - intended as an opportunity for leisure and/or rest, essential rights of the individual.
