Abstract

The personality disorders are generally described as a persistent pattern of inner experience that deviates strongly from the expectations of the culture of an individual in terms of cognition, affectivity, interpersonal functioning and impulse control. They are a complex area of defining and understanding for the clinical and forensic psychiatrist. A recent ruling by the Court of Cassation stated that personality disorder may be a result of reduction or cancellation of the ability to understand and will, if so serious as to affect the same. In the present work is explored, using a psycho-diagnostic protocol, the psychological profile of a person with a narcissistic personality disorder, charged for uxoricidio.
