ABSTRACT

The most important contact point between psychiatry and law is the psychiatric expertizing, intending to elucidate the mental status of certain subject through a whole of proofs, with the usage of concrete scientific elements on psychical phenomena, investigating his personality. In this case, we present the case of a male individual, aged 30 years, subject of a medico-legal expertise after committing a murder, evidencing his incapacity for adopting norms of common life adequate to the socio-cultural environment in which he lived, showing lack of moral and ethic values. During the investigation there arose many characteristics of the dissocial personality of the accused making it possible the commission of a criminal act laden of great theatricalism and imagination richness, looking for attention for what he thought was an act of great social connotation.
