Self-Made Madness - Rethinking Illness and Criminal Responsibility - Thryft

Exploring culpability in mental disorder and crime.

If you're intrigued by the intersection of mental health and the legal system, "Self-Made Madness" could be a revelatory read. It challenges the layperson's understanding of criminal responsibility and mental illness, making you rethink societal and legal constructs. The book doesn't just theorize; it includes practical experiments that offer a glimpse into how notions of culpability might shape legal outcomes. It's an intellectually stimulating dive that might forever change how you perceive the insanity defense and criminal culpability.

Description

This multi-disciplinary book lies in the general areas of forensic psychiatry/psychology, sociology, jurisprudence, criminal law, and criminology. It questions traditional assumptions about illness and mental disorder, and deals with the controversial notion that mental disorders (and possibly other 'illnesses') may be to varying extents the fault of the 'sufferer'. It examines how the law can take into account such 'culpable' notions of mental disorder in determining criminal responsibility. This culpability for the defense-causing condition (or 'responsibility for the level of criminal responsibility') is called 'meta-responsibility'. The book is divided into two parts. The first section discusses theoretical issues, such as the manner in which traditional illness models relate to meta-responsibility; the insanity defense and other mental condition defenses; the relationship of clinical issues such as medication non-compliance and insight to meta-responsibility and the counterfactual notion that consideration of the possible voluntary origins of mental disorder may benefit the criminal and non-criminal mentally disordered. The second section of the book presents a case vignette experiment of mock jurors, examining the effect of a 'meta-responsibility insanity test'.
