Main themes - Specify what is understood by pathological psychology, what are the theorico-clinical requirements of the subject and the consequences of the approach in the debate with the juridical subjects, notably in the matter of responsibility and guilty. - Investigate various fields of psychopathology : their diversities of forms and figures; what, in the human existence, becomes pathological ; what are the stakes and dynamic processes ; in what are they likely to cause delinquent and/or deviant expression. The fields to be explored are these of contact disorders, sexual inversion and perversion, neurotic conflictualities and psychotic deterioration.
Aims At the end of the course, the students should be able to : - understand how and why the different forms of the psychopathology are likely to participate to the emergence of various modalities of delinquency and/or deviancy ; - grasp the respective points of view in the debate between jurists and specialists on psychic pathology on the matter of an eventual part of pathology in the delinquency ; - conceive the pertinent research approaches in this field ; - consider how the social integration and the implications in the delinquency can lead to psychopathological disorders.
