Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed analysis of the medico-legal implications of a specific mental condition known as 'transitory mania.' The author, a medical expert, argues against the validity of this condition, which is often used as a defense plea in criminal cases. The book examines the historical and scientific evidence surrounding transitory mania and demonstrates that it lacks a sound medical basis. The author asserts that mental illnesses are rooted in physical changes in the brain and cannot exist independently of them. The book challenges the notion of an irresistible impulse as a mitigating factor in criminal responsibility and argues that individuals retain their capacity for rational decision-making even during moments of intense emotion. By debunking the myth of transitory mania, the book aims to strengthen the integrity of the legal system and ensure that individuals are held accountable for their actions. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330993729_0
