Alienist was the early word for psychiatrist. The testimony of alienists began to appear in court cases in the post-civil war years. Used at first primarily by clever defense attornies but later became a trial standard for prosecutors also. Today psychiatric testimony is used by both sides and can be very persuasive evidence for a jury.
