This case conference aims to explore comprehensive strategies for managing treatment-resistant schizophrenia in patients with a history of criminal behavior. Using a case vignette, we will discuss and compare the biological and psychosocial approaches to treatment across different countries, as well as the legal and institutional frameworks that guide management in different countries, with examples of forensics psychiatry systems from Japan, South Korea, and Thailand.
Discussions will focus on the following key questions:
1. What is the diagnosis and treatment plan?
2. Which biological treatments, including pharmacotherapy and neuromodulation, are available in each country?
3. Which psychosocial interventions, such as psychotherapy and community-based facilities, are used?
4. Are there specialized hospitals or facilities for patients with schizophrenia and severe criminal behavior?
In addition to Japan and South Korea, the session will review Thailand’s forensic psychiatry system, where court-ordered assessments and specialized hospitals play a significant role in balancing treatment with public safety.
By comparing practices and frameworks globally, we hope to facilitate the exchange of knowledge, innovative strategies, and best practices among professionals.
