In this lecture based class, students will be introduced to the world of forensic psychology in relation to insanity.

I have a bachelor's in psychology with my focus being on forensic psychology and am preparing to do my Master's specifically in forensic psychology. I have extensively studied the insanity plea in the U.S., doing my thesis on public opinions about not guilty by reason of insanity pleas in the U.S.
Course mentions violent crime, mental illness, and secure psychiatric facilities which may be disturbing to some students. It is not suitable for students under 17 as we will be talking about psychotic disorders (hallucinations and delusions). Violent crime will be mentioned; however, the class primarily focuses on the legal wording and implications of the plea. Discussions of dangerousness and mandatory treatment for those who are insane will also be present. Please reach out if you have questions about content. I am more than happy to provide more details.
