【 摘 要 】

Contemporary forensic psychiatrists practice in a system that has gender and cultural biases.Though we are only one small piece of the criminal justice system, learning about cultural and gender concerns is critical so that we properly engage and fulfill our mission of striving toward objectivity. Paternalism or chivalry are not the answer when faced with gender questions, as presumingcolor-blindness is not the answer when faced with cultural questions. Rather, we need to examineour own biases and educate ourselves. Many opportunities for teaching and public health exist inour field, each of which can help address these challenges on a larger scale as well.
