In the past 25 years, the number of female forensic psychiatrists has increased dramatically. To assess whether there are gender differences in the practice patterns of forensic psychiatry experts, members of the American Academy of Psychiatry and the Law were surveyed during an annual business meeting. Women in the sample were shown to perform fewer categories of evaluation than men. Women were less likely than men to do criminal work, civil commitment/involuntary medication evaluations, and testamentary capacity evaluations, but there was no significant difference in the percentage of those performing some personal injury/disability/fitness for duty, custody, sexual harassment, or malpractice evaluations. Gender was not a significant factor in determining hourly rate. When subjects were asked to comment on whether they thought that gender was a factor in the selection of a forensic expert, 80 percent of the women, but only 41 percent of the men, believed that gender was a consideration.
在过去25年里，女性法医精神病学家的数量急剧增加。为评估法医精神病学专家的执业模式是否存在性别差异，在美国精神病学与法律学会的一次年度业务会议期间对其成员进行了调查。结果显示，样本中的女性进行的评估类别比男性少。与男性相比，女性从事刑事工作、民事强制治疗/非自愿用药评估以及遗嘱能力评估的可能性较小，但在进行一些人身伤害/残疾/履职能力、监护权、性骚扰或医疗事故评估的人员比例方面没有显著差异。性别不是决定小时费率的重要因素。当受试者被问及他们是否认为性别是选择法医专家的一个因素时，80%的女性认为性别是一个考虑因素，而只有41%的男性这样认为。
