Contemporary forensic psychiatrists practice in a system that has gender and cultural biases. Though we are only one small piece of the criminal justice system, learning about cultural and gender concerns is critical so that we properly engage and fulfill our mission of striving toward objectivity. Paternalism or chivalry are not the answer when faced with gender questions, as presuming color-blindness is not the answer when faced with cultural questions. Rather, we need to examine our own biases and educate ourselves. Many opportunities for teaching and public health exist in our field, each of which can help address these challenges on a larger scale as well.
当代法医精神病学家在一个存在性别和文化偏见的系统中开展工作。尽管我们只是刑事司法系统的一小部分，但了解文化和性别问题至关重要，这样我们才能正确参与并履行我们追求客观性的使命。面对性别问题时，家长式作风或骑士精神并非答案，正如面对文化问题时假定无视肤色也不是答案一样。相反，我们需要审视自己的偏见并自我教育。我们这个领域存在许多教学和公共卫生方面的机会，每一个机会都有助于在更大范围内应对这些挑战。
