✦ Synopsis

This special issue of the journal provides the proceedings from a symposium held in mid-2004 on the core mental health law issue of capacity to consent to treatment and research. The symposium was organized by Professor Elyn R. Saks, the Orrin B. Evans Professor of Law, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of Southern California Law School. The papers in this issue provide a wide-ranging examination of the issue of capacity, from clinical, research, legal and ethical perspectives and across age and diagnostic groups. Each paper standing alone makes a significant contribution to the literature, while together these papers provide an indispensable look at the current 'state of the art' on this critical issue.

I would like to thank Professor Saks for her tireless work, not only in organizing the symposium, but also for bringing its results to Behavioral Sciences and the Law.
