AB Forensic  psychiatry  is  the  medical  subspecialty,  recognized  by  the  American  Psychiatric  Association  since  1991,  in  which  psychiatric  expertise  is  applied  to  legal  issues.  The  American  Board  of  Psychiatry  and  Neurology  began  in  1994  to  examine  individuals  for  "added  qualifications  in  forensic  psychiatry."  There  are  about  40  1-year  fellowship  programs  in  forensic  psychiatry  accredited  by  the  Accreditation  Council  for  Graduate  Medical  Education,  USA.  Several  major  textbooks  of  forensic  psychology  and  psychiatry  are  listed  at  the  end  of  this  section.
