abstract="&quot;Excess of self-defence&quot;, from the forensic-psychiatric point of view, is a hybrid between a crime of passion and a spontaneous retaliation. The Criminal Code puts under threat of penalty exceeding actions of self-defence, but it grants exemption from punishment to a person exceeding the limits in an excusable state of excitement. Going out from a case report, the author elucidates the problem of determining the degree of diminished responsibility. In order to do so, he points out the alternative pathways of affect-driven information-processing in the human central nervous system according to today's neuroscientific state of knowledge.<p /><p>Language: de</p>",
