Head of Mental Health Department, ASL Roma 5. Forensic psychiatry is a growing branch of psychiatry with an increasing general interest. Naturally interdisciplinary, forensic psychiatry is deeply rooted into social psychiatry, though presenting its own specifics, often determined by the legal systems of the individual countries. The lack of an effective comparison between forensic psychiatric realities is a substantial shortage of the international psychiatric landscape. Issues such as the insanity defence, assessment of the risk of recidivism, the ability to give consent to treatment, and the reduction of civil capacity are aspects of fundamental importance in the lives of people. Civil rights of mentally ill persons should be protected with a more scientific and evidence based criteria, and the shortage of real transcultural reflection creates a need to find common evaluation bases. In forensic psychiatry the basic skills, beside assessment of behavioural abnormalities, require the ability to write reports for courts and layers, giving evidence in court, understanding security as a means for treatment. Furthermore the ability to treat particularly severe cases of psychosis and personality disorder is a basis requirement, and evaluation of psychotherapy outcomes is paramount for further expertise. Specific ethics problems arise in the forensic arena. The impact of neuroscience on forensic evaluations is increasing and a reflexion is needed for the neurolaw problem. The meeting is a novel attempt to create cross boundaries between two forensic psychiatry realities, comparing rules, procedures, problems and organizations between Italy and Canada. During the meeting legal differences and similarities will be examined, searching for common forms of decision making in insanity evaluations. The depth deistituzionalization forensic program enacted in Italy since 2008 will be compared with the Canadian forensic organization. Particular attention will also be paid to pharmacological treatment and in particular to the use of long acting preparations that can guarantee long-term treatment and long-term effect. Such treatments often have to be tailor-made for these patients by following a categorical approach, either by diagnosis, dimensional or emerging psychopathological problematics. A large space will therefore be devoted to integrating biological approaches to evidence-based psychosocial approaches. Particularly the conference will underline effectiveness of some international guidelines in forensic and community setting.
