The authors of this article reviewed 68 data-based studies to refute such arguments. DANIEL BROWN, PH.D., ALAN W. SCHEFLIN, JD., M.A., LL.M., AND CHARLES L. WHITFIELD, M.D. Dual Commitments to Forensic Hospitals and Prisons: Rational Disposition or Political Compromise? 157 The authors present the first study in both the legal and the research literature dealing with dual commitments. They attempt to determine the frequency of such cases, the reason for such disposi- tions, and the problems caused by them. ROBERT D. MILLER, M.D., PH.D., JONATHAN OLIN, M.D., ELISSA M.
