Abstract: (11 Views) |
Background and Aim: The legal liability of individuals diagnosed with personality disorders presents a complex issue that necessitates an examination of the criteria employed to assess such liability, incorporating diverse perspectives from legal theory and forensic psychology.
Materials and Methods: This study was conducted using an analytical-descriptive approach.
Ethical Considerations: All ethical principles have been followed in writing this article.
Findings & Conclusion: The findings indicate that in the realm of private law, the presence of a personality disorder may significantly affect the validity of intent and legal capacity in executing contracts and legal acts. If the disorder substantially impairs the individual's ability to comprehend the nature or consequences of legal actions, it may constitute grounds for nullification or rescission of the contract. Furthermore, social factors and psychological labeling may influence judicial assessments regarding the extent of civil liability. Therefore, comprehensive psychological evaluation plays a pivotal role in determining the authenticity of intent and the civil responsibility of individuals with personality disorders.
