Restoration to Competency Practice Guidelines

Stephen G. Noffsinger

Psychiatry School of Medicine, Case Western Reserve University, Chief Clinical Officer, Forensic Services, Northcoast Behavioral Healthcare System, 1756 Sagamore Road, P.O. Box 305, Northfield, OH 44067, USA

Courts frequently adjudicate criminal defendants as incompetent to stand trial and order defendants to psychiatric hospitals for treatment and education designed to restore the defendant to competence. However, little information is available on effective restoration to competency techniques. This article summarizes the existing literature on restoration to competency programs, describes a competency restoration program at one Ohio hospital, and offers basic restoration to competency practice guidelines that may be applied to any facility performing competency restoration.
