Synopsis
A rigorous classic on how law and medicine meet in the question of insanity and responsibility. This work examines how legal systems treat mental illness, from competency to contract, crime, and evidence.
In clear, accessible language, it traces the long history of decisions about who can be held accountable when the mind is impaired. It surveys definitions of insanity, the reliability of testimony, and the practical tests used to assess capacity, intent, and moral responsibility. Readers will encounter real cases, notable theories, and the interplay between medical diagnosis and legal judgment.
- Learn how courts evaluate sanity for wills, contracts, and criminal acts.
- Explore topics like lucid intervals, feigned insanity, and the admissibility of evidence.
- See discussions of epilepsy, drunkenness, dementia, monomania, and other conditions with legal implications.
- Understand how experts, judges, and practitioners approach responsibility and defense.
Ideal for readers of legal history, medical jurisprudence, and those curious about how the law navigates minds in crisis.
