    Author: Heilbrun K, Nunez CE, Deitchman MA, Gustafson D, Krull K.
    Journal: Bull Am Acad Psychiatry Law; 1992; 20(4):475-80. PubMed ID: 1482800.
    Abstract:
    A nationwide (U.S.) survey of major public mental hospitals treating patients who are incompetent for trial, not guilty by reason of insanity, mentally disordered sex offenders, or mentally ill inmates was conducted. Responses were received from 71 percent of the 115 facilities surveyed. Respondents were the directors of psychiatry from the respective facilities. The pattern of treatments delivered generally appeared clinically appropriate. However, behavioral and cognitive-behavioral treatments were reported infrequently, even in areas in which they would be particularly useful.
