Correction to Appelbaum

Published Online:27 Feb 2017https://doi.org/10.1176/appi.ps.683Correction

The Law & Psychiatry column “Does the Second Amendment Protect the Gun Rights of Persons With Mental Illness?” by Paul Appelbaum, M.D. (published online in Psychiatric Services in Advance December 1,2016; printed in the January issue of Psychiatric Services [Vol. 68, no. 1, pp. 3–5]), misattributed the reference in support of the final clause of this sentence: “Most, though by no means all, mental health organizations and professionals lean toward more restrictive approaches to gun possession, based in part on data showing increased risk of gun violence and suicide in households with guns.” The correct reference appears below.
