Forensic Psychology and Psychiatry
Dimitrios Kioupis
Abstract: The book consists of three parts. The first part deals with questions
of forensic psychiatry. After examining the concept of guilt and its relation to
the problem of free will, it covers extensively the subjects of lack of criminal
responsibility, insanity, diminished responsibility and drunkenness. The second
part refers to questions of forensic psychology. Among its main themes are: the
methodological tools of the forensic psychologist, evaluation of confessions and
testimonies, as well as the psychology of judges and jurors. The last part deals
with the role of the expert witness (psychiatrist and psychologist) in criminal
procedures.
