La medicina legal y forense es una especialidad médica considerada dentro de las disciplinas conocidas como médico-sociales. Comprende un amplio conjunto de conocimientos médico-biológicos que auxilian al mundo de la justicia, tanto en el desarrollo teórico legislativo como en el modo más práctico de aplicación de las leyes en el medio judicial. La medicina legal corresponde a la parte más dogmática de la disciplina y el calificativo «forense» la tiñe de una visión eminentemente práctica que conduce al conocimiento general de la figura del médico de esta especialidad. La atención actual , incluso mediática, de nuestras actuaciones hace que el contenido de este manual sea de gran interés por sus aportaciones básicas pero imprescindibles para conocer y comprender las funciones y la amplitud de campos que abarca nuestro ejercicio profesional. Está divido en cuatro amplios capítulos: tanatología, patología forense, sexología forense y criminalística, y psiquiatría forense, obviamente limitados por la extensión de la obra pero que aportan una visión muy práctica.
