Features: This book is divided into three main parts. The chapters of Part 1 and Part 2 are written by Zhuang Hongsheng, while the remaining chapters of Part 2 and Part 3 are written by Sun Chunxia. Part 3 is the main technical operational content of the book. The authors list and scientifically explain 20 common mental illnesses encountered in judicial practice. Each illness includes medical diagnostic criteria, analysis of criminal responsibility, and civil competency, unifying previously chaotic competency evaluations under the three-pronged principle stipulated in the Criminal Procedure Law. Additionally, innovative references for medical termination time and degree of labor disability loss are provided for civil compensation purposes at the end of each illness. These new additions are not found in any previous psychiatric medical evaluation reference books. This book is valuable for case handlers in legal and political departments, as well as various hospitals involved in judicial evaluations, particularly the designated evaluation hospitals by provincial governments and forensic evaluation agencies across the country.
