dc.description.abstract	This article addresses the problematic conceptual interface between law and the fields of psychiatry and psychology when the defence of pathological criminal incapacity is raised in a criminal court. The definition and assessment of ‘mental illness’ or ‘mental defect’ as threshold requirements for the defence are analyzed according to the medical model, legal model and cross-dimensional model of mental illness.	en
