an online textbook of psychiatry, by Dr David Gill, Consultant Psychiatrist

for colleagues in the law, HR and other professions, who need further information about mental health questions which come up in the course of their work.

“.. what I really wanted to know from our expert- but was afraid to ask…”

The site has grown out of Dr Gill’s UK-wide medicolegal practice; in 2007, he prepared about 250 psychiatric reports on a range of mental health cases, including personal injury and employment matters, as well as appearing several times before the Employment Tribunal, and once in the County Court (where he had prepared a report for the claimant in a personal injury case).

During 2006, he spoke at the Action against Medical Accidents conference, and ran regular workshops for Central Law Training (course approved by APIL): these resumed in 2008.

The site is work in progress. If your question of interest is not covered yet, please let me know and it will be included as soon as possible. Any other comments will be appreciated also. Thanks.

The text partly derives from Outline of Psychiatry, a textbook originated by Dr Jenny Barroclough, later prepared jointly, and the most recent edition by Dr Gill.
