Medical aspects of insanity in Polish Criminal Law

Conclusions The issue of insanity requires effective combination of complex and suitable legal structures, current medical knowledge, and interest of an individual and society. For the effective and accurate regulations of the issue of insanity and well-functioning practice, a dialog between the two professions is required. Specifying the term of insanity is the responsibility of physicians, since its clarification on the basis of current legal status is unreasonable and inadequate due to the fact that its extent is each time determined by the current medical knowledge.
