Diminished Responsibility

In modern Russian criminal law means diminished responsibility, that the subject is not capable to regulate meaningly legally significant behaviour at the moment of socially dangerous act. Such disability comes at presence if the subject has the chronic or time mental disorder, an aphrenia or other disease state of mentality. The specified clinical phenomena define medical criterion of diminished responsibility. Special interest represents disorders which in ICD- 10 concern to «Personality Disorders» (F60-F68). Here mental disorders which have no so-called remedial basis are meant, or in their structure it is impossible to note signs of weakening process. At the same time they not only qualitatively differ from the accepted norm, but also under known conditions possess that depth or expression that can be regarded as medical criterion of the formula of diminished responsibility. The research which has been spent in the Department of psychogenias and personality disorders of Institute of Serbsky included 80 men at the age from 20 till 45 years by which the diagnosis «Personality disorder» was established. It has shown that there can be 3 variants of influence on responsibility: they can cause full loss of liability; can essentially reduce the criminal liability; their presence can be neutral and not render influences on liability. The analysis of expert judgements shows, that in expert judgements about disability of the subject to regulate the behaviour meaningly it is necessary to estimate components both medical, and psychological criteria of diminished responsibility.

BackgroundThe relationships between personality disorders and suicide were investigated among two aboriginal groups and the Han Chinese in East Taiwan.MethodBiographical reconstructive interviews were conducted for consecutive suicides from each of the three ethnic groups (116 suicides in total), 113 of whom were matched with two controls for age, gender, and area of residence.ResultsIn all three groups, a high proportion of suicides suffered from ICD-10 personality disorder before suicide (46.7–76.7%), and the most prevalent category was emotionally unstable personality disorder (F60.3) (26.7–56.7%). The risk for suicide was mainly significantly associated with F60.3, comorbidity among personality disorders, and comorbidity of personality disorder with other psychiatric disorders, particularly severe depression.ConclusionThe main category of personality disorder significantly associated with the risk of suicide is F60.3 in ICD-10. The risk is highest for a comorbidity of this category and severe depression.

Background Knowledge of the prevalence and correlates of personality disorders in the community is important for identifying treatment needs and for provision of psychiatric services. Aims To estimate the prevalence of personality disorders in a community sample and to identify demographic subgroups with especially high prevalence. Method Clinical psychologists used the International Personality Disorder Examination to assess DSM-IV and ICD-10 personality disorders in a sample of 742 subjects, ages 34–94 years, residing in Baltimore, Maryland. Logistic regression was used to evaluate the association between demographic characteristics and DSM - IV personality disorder clusters. Results The estimated overall prevalence of DSM - IV personality disorders was 9%. Cluster A disorders were most prevalent in men who had never married. Cluster B disorders were most prevalent in young men without a high school degree, and cluster C disorders in high school graduates who had never married. Conclusions Approximately 9% of this community sample has a DSM-IV personality disorder. Personality disorders are over-represented in certain demographic subgroups of the community

This chapter deals with the controversial issue of personality disorder, whether these are meaningful diagnoses and, if so, how they affect management. The classification is entirely pragmatic: the definitions and classification in both ICD-10 and DSM-V are outlined along with proposals to abandon categories in favour of a dimensional approach. The issue of treatability is explored, but we conclude that ignoring personality and personality disorders is not a viable alternative for outreach workers. Most of the chapter deals with the management of dissocial personality disorder (usually in men) and borderline personality disorder (usually in women). Specific psychotherapies are not dealt with here; the focus is on how to use team work to manage individuals with severe mental illness and disorders of personality.

BackgroundPrevious UK studies have reported much lower rates of psychiatric and personality disorder in those who attempt suicide than in those who die by suicide.AimsTo determine the nature and prevalence of psychiatric and personality disorders in deliberate self-harm (DSH) patients.MethodA representative sample of 150 DSH patients who presented to a general hospital were assessed using a structured clinical interview and a standardised instrument. Follow-up interviews were completed for 118 patients approximately 12–16 months later.ResultsICD–10 psychiatric disorders were diagnosed in 138 patients (92.0%), with comorbidity of psychiatric disorders in 46.7%. The most common diagnosis was affective disorder (72.0%). Personality disorder was identified in 45.9% of patients interviewed at follow-up. Comorbidity of psychiatric and personality disorder was present in 44.1%.ConclusionsPsychiatric and personality disorders, and their comorbidity, are common in DSH patients. This has important implications for assessment and management.

IntroductionEarly diagnostics and treatment of comorbid disorders in drug addicts is an integral part of the rehabilitation process and a critical factor in the success of rehabilitation measures as a whole.SubjectsOne hundred and thirty-three patient of inpatient rehabilitation department. The inclusion criteria in the study were: age above 18 years, withdrawal status, diagnosis (F 11.20 ICD-10). They were divided into two groups: HIV positive (n = 38) and HIV negative (n = 95).AimsTo estimate the prevalence of HIV infection and comorbid mental disorders in substance abuse patients and the impact of comorbidities disorders on the compliance.MethodsClinico-anamnestic method, clinical-psychopathological method (criteria ICD-10 and clinical diagnostic scales: PANSS, HADS, MMPI). All participants also had serological blood test for antibodies to HIV.ResultsAccording to our data, the incidence of comorbid mental disorders among HIV negative patients is 65%. The research also showed a correlation (P < 0.05) between HIV infection and mental disorders. So, mental disorders were diagnosed in 82% of HIV infected patients. Patients who stopped their treatment early (n = 42) significantly (P < 0.05) more often had specific personality disorders (17%). Most of them suffered from dissocial personality disorder (9%) and borderline personality disorder (18%).ConclusionsThis analysis showed that HIV is not significant factor (P > 0.05) of early rehabilitation treatment interruption. But comorbid personality disorders in both groups are a significant factor (P < 0.05) of the treatment interruption, while the endogenous, neurotic or affective mental disorders are not.Disclosure of interestThe author has not supplied his/her declaration of competing interest.
