Abstract
Objective of the Review: To summarise the references related to the forensic psychiatry aspects of exogenous organic psychotic disorders.
Key Points. The majority of acute exogenous organic psychotic disorders during a wrongdoing are more or less associated with the use of psychoactive substances (PAS). This literature overview discusses typical forensic psychotic conditions appearing in acute intoxication with PAS (short-term psychotic disorders, abnormal alcoholic intoxication, abnormal forms of alcoholic intoxication, PAS-induced psychosis) and psychosis associated with withdrawal. Key challenges in the diagnosis of these conditions, changes in approaches to their forensic psychiatric assessment and the modern idea of legally relevant skills of wrongdoers who committed an illegal act during an exogenous psychosis, are analysed here.
Conclusion. The matter of acute exogenous psychoses which is a relevant issue for forensic and psychiatric examination, is discussed insufficiently in recent literature sources. Further studies are needed, and approaches to a forensic and psychiatric examination of legally relevant skills of wrongdoers should be developed.
