AB  - Forensic psychiatry as a subspecialty discipline is presently experiencing a broad and essentially constructive conversation concerning its foundations and their implications for teaching and practice. The essay by Griffith and Greenidge proposes developing the art of consultation to include bringing out the contextual realities often invisible at first to the quarreling parties. Often enough they can thus be spared embarrassment as they come to recognize that their shared values matter more than any differences. This outcome may prove especially broadly true in the religious arena.
