The Canadian Guidelines for Forensic Psychiatry Assessment and Report Writing are intended as a review of legal and forensic psychiatric principles to offer practical guidance and be a resource for learners, early career forensic psychiatrists and others. This project represents a significant advance for forensic psychiatry in Canada, and we hope they will serve as a helpful resource to CAPL members and the field of forensic psychiatry going forward.

Please note that it is the policy of CAPL to review each position paper, policy statement and clinical practice guideline every five years after publication or last review. Any such document on the CAPL website that has been published more than five years ago and does not explicitly state it has been reviewed and retained as an official document of the academy, either with revisions or as originally published, should be considered as an historical reference document only.
