A three-year-old boy dies, having apparently fallen while trying to reach a bag of sugar on a high shelf. His grandmother stands accused of second-degree murder. Psychologist Susan Nordin Vinocour agrees to evaluate the defendant, to determine whether the impoverished and mentally ill woman is competent to stand trial. Vinocour soon finds herself pulled headlong into a series of difficult questions, beginning with: Was the defendant legally insane on the night in question? As she wades deeper into the story, Vinocour traces the legal definition of insanity back nearly two hundred years, when our understanding of the human mind was in its infancy. "Competency" and "insanity," she explains, are creatures of legal definition, not psychiatric reality, and in criminal law, "insanity" has become a luxury of the rich and white. With passion, clarity, and heart, Vinocour examines the troubling intersection of mental health issues and the law"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hana P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 345.74704 Vi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 345.74704 Vi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 345.74704 Vinocour Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 345.74704 Vi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 345.74704 Vi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 345.74704 Vi Checked In Add Copy to MyList
