Criminal psychiatry

This manual contains lessons on the clinical study of the personality underlying the act and/or commission of an offence.It should be noted that when an offence is committed the perpetrator (co-perpetrator or accomplice) will be held criminally liable if all the relevant legal conditions are met.Furthermore there is no felony or misdemeanor when the accused was in a proven state of insanity at the time of the action or when he was compelled by a force he was unable to resist.Furthermore criminal responsibility is exonerated if it is proved that at the time of the act the person was suffering from or was under the influence of a psychic or neuropsychic disorder which had abolished his discernment and/or control over his actions.
