Professor Ewing tackles the most complex of all legal/psychological issues: the insanity defence. It has been employed thousands of times, but there is still littler understanding by lawyers and psychologists of its proper use. By analysing some of the most well-known insanity cases in legal history, this books sheds light on the particularities of this defence, when it is successful, and when it is a sham.
