ABSTRACT

This chapter explores the various disorders shown through forensic cases and numerous images, which help us to understand exactly how psychological and legal conclusions are reached in order to adapt the legal and preventative measures that correspond to specific situations. Full of prose that is a joy to read, even for those without any expertise on the subject, we are offered a compendium of the main pathologies, accompanied by meticulous research and in-depth descriptions of the different disorders which, along with plenty of images, allow us to connect two branches of medical and legal knowledge: psychopathology and forensic pathology. In his new book—a real Atlas—he has created a visual guide that uses abundant photos and illustrations to examine the main psychopathological disturbances that an expert witness on the subject could be confronted with during their day-to-day work. All the clinical and legal information on each case, with the relevant data and images, are provided by way of summary tables.
