Example text
Ray became an ardent and capable defender of the special standing of experienced clinicians in adjudicative settings in which questions of mental health were at issue. Most “experts,” he observed, were general practitioners who saw insane patients only rarely and who were unfamiliar with the current literature. Determinations regarding insanity, particularly moral insanity, required a deeper understanding of mental disorders that could only be gained through familiarity with a large number of patients.
Rush 1811, p. 363) In 1810, Rush urged his medical students to obtain a strong grounding in the medical jurisprudence of insanity. He explicitly connected the concept of moral insanity to medical jurisprudence and discussed in detail “those states of the mind which should incapacitate a man to dispose of his property, to bear witness in a court of justice, and exempt him from punishment for the commission of what are called crimes by the laws of our country” (Rush 1811, pp. 20 John Haslam’s Medical Jurisprudence as It Relates to Insanity (1817) was the first major work specifically calling for the use of medical experts in cases involving insanity on the basis of their expertise in diagnosing and treating the insane.
Many issues included reviews of books on medical jurisprudence and forensic medicine. The cases of Oxford and M’Naghten were reviewed in detail (“Review of the Trials of Oxford and M’cNaughten” 1851). Cases of contested wills and the capacity to enter a contract (Ray 1848; “A Will Contested” 1848) were also discussed. 28 Indeed, during the first three or four decades of its publication, almost every issue of the American Journal of Insanity contained a discussion of medicolegal principles or an account of court proceedings in a criminal case in which a plea of insanity had been entered or in which AMSAII’s members testified (Bunker 1944).
