Abstract

The problem of pathological intoxication is discussed. Also considered by the authors in their present paper is the fact that various designations are used in the literature to describe abnormal intoxications of which the intensity is less than that of real pathological intoxication. However, phenomenological or symptomatological classifications provide no information whatsoever about the ability to take decisions and about mental responsibility. An attempt is made to establish criteria for the concept of "pathologically colored intoxication" which is primarily oriented, not in a phenomenological context, but toward a substantially diminished ability to take meaningful decisions.
