Résumé
"The purpose of this study was to examine the issues at the interface between the criminal
justice system and the mental health system and to assess the need for a mental health court
in southwestern Ontario. The result is a Best Practices document that should enable those
working in the field to examine creative ways of addressing similar issues. Best Practices
documents take different forms: from an extensive review of the literature, to a meta-analysis
of clinical trials, to consensus building about indicators of best practices, to surveys of those
working in the field for their insights and suggestions. This document is based on the latter: it
is a survey of those working in the field."--Page 5.
