This course examines the process by which an accused is determined to be either fit or unfit to stand trial. We review possible behaviour to watch for in a client, and how to initiate the process of an assessment. The assessment process is broken down, step by step, with attention paid to clinical considerations. We also discuss controversial topics in fitness, such as malingered unfitness, amnesia, and muteness. Lastly, we look at the evaluation itself: the tools used, legal considerations, and reports. This program contains 1 hour of professionalism content.
