This paper describes the main areas of civil forensic psychiatry (FP) and the skills required by psychiatric experts. Some specific areas of civil FP are discussed, including tort law reform, reliability of psychiatric evidence, contentious psychiatric disorders, and the many domains of civil FP.
Civil FP is an important sub-specialty component of forensic psychiatry that requires greater emphasis in the training and continuing education of psychiatrists. A process of accrediting psychiatrists as having competency in advanced civil FP may be of value.
本文描述了民事法医精神病学（FP）的主要领域以及精神病学专家所需的技能。文中讨论了民事法医精神病学的一些特定领域，包括侵权法改革、精神病学证据的可靠性、有争议的精神障碍以及民事法医精神病学的诸多领域。
民事法医精神病学是法医精神病学的一个重要亚专业组成部分，在精神科医生的培训和继续教育中需要给予更多重视。对具备高级民事法医精神病学能力的精神科医生进行认证的过程可能具有价值。
