LEGAL ASPECT OF FORENSIC PSYCHIATRY

V diplomskem delu je predstavljena pravna podlaga forenzične psihiatrije. Forenzična psihiatrija se je razvijala skozi zgodovinska obdobja (od rimske dobe pa do 21. stoletja) saj je oblast v primeru kaznivega dejanja forenzičnega storilca kaznovala na različne načine. V Sloveniji, v Mariboru je bila tudi otvoritev enote za forenzično psihiatrijo, čeprav dodatni oddelek še ni odprt. Kljub težavam, ki jih forenzična psihiatrija ima, je njeno delovanje nujno za zagotovitev uspešnega zdravljenja forenzičnih storilcev, ki so pri tem zaradi varnosti ločeni od preostalih bolnikov. Forenzični bolniki so za uveljavljanje svojih pravic prosili za pomoč varuha za človekove pravice. Psihiatrija in pravo se srečujeta na področju psihiatričnega izvedenstva, zdravljenja psihiatričnih bolnikov brez njihove privolitve in varnostnih ukrepov obveznega psihiatričnega zdravljenja.The thesis presents the legal ground for forensic psychiatry. The later has developed throughout historical periods (from the Roman era up to the 21st century), since in the case of a crime, the authority punished the forensic offender in various ways. In Maribor, Slovenia was established a unit for forensic psychiatry, although the additional department is still not operating. Despite problems of forensic psychiatry, its operations are necessary for ensuring of successful treatment of forensic patients which are, because of safety, separated from the rest of the patients. Forensic patients asked the Ombudsman for help in order to enforce their human rights. The psychiatry and law are confronted in the field of psychiatry expertise, treatment of psychiatric patients without their consent and safety measures of obligatory psychiatric treatment
