Abstract

This book highlights some of the major problems in "Crime and Insanity": How do we legally define insanity? How responsible for their acts are psychotic and neurotic personalities? What position should courts take on responsibility? We require clearer and more definitive answers to these questions if the muddle and quandary of our courts in determining criminal culpability is to be resolved. This volume is of some usefulness in clarifying the issue; however, the reviewer completed the book with the feeling that too much extraneous material (excellent as it is) clouded the central objective of the book.
