“The curious reader is showered with a detailed and engaging narrative of the concept of legal insanity … . content is so informative and engaging that it can be beneficial to instruction in undergraduate and graduate classes encompassing a variety of subjects … . It can also be the ideal read for legal scholars, philosophers of ethics, and scientists who are interested in the conundrums posed by the criteria that determine legal insanity in diverse legal systems.” (Maura Pilotti, metapsychology online reviews, metapsychology.mentalhelp.net, Vol. 21 (27), July, 2017)“This book attempts to confront insanity cases from a multidisciplinary perspective by using the three pillars of its foundation: psychiatry, ethics, and the law. … Although likely interesting for those involved in the legal system, philosophy, ethics, or the mental health system, this book also may prove to be a valuable resource for students interested in these fields or for anyone wishing to know more about the origins, current practice, and potential future direction of the insanity defense.” (Steven T. Herron, Doody's Book Reviews, March, 2016)
