National attention has focused on criminal defendants who plead not guilty by reason of insanity, but the insanity defense is rarely successful. A far larger number of criminal defendants, estimated at 9,000 annually, are admitted for forensic and civil hospitals because they are found incompetent to stand trial. Once hospitalized, many of these defendants face the likelihood of indefinite commitment. This paper discusses issues related to he concept of incompetency to stand trial and presents an approach to treatment planning and programming designed to restore patients to competency.
全国的注意力都集中在以精神错乱为由进行无罪抗辩的刑事被告身上，但精神错乱抗辩很少成功。每年估计有9000名数量多得多的刑事被告因被认定无受审能力而被送往法医医院和民事医院。一旦住院，这些被告中的许多人面临着被无限期收押的可能性。本文讨论了与无受审能力概念相关的问题，并提出了一种治疗计划和方案的方法，旨在使患者恢复受审能力。
