[Mental disease and the judgement of social danger].
The present research studies the evaluation in the Judicial Psychiatric Hospital of Castiglione delle Stiviere, as the treatment of the criminal mental illness (Psychopathology) has been evolving after the normative change that has abolished every form of legal presumption of social danger. Eighty-three files were analysed during the period January 1991 to March 1993 relative to the interns of the J.P. Hospital; particularly examined were the evaluation methods high-lighted by the observation group and the treatment called into use to supply an opinion on the dismissal of the (same) interns and on the consequences (or not) of admitting them into a form of outpatient treatment.
