Summary/Abstract: In the ecclesiastical courts, classical methods, such as psychological conversation and assessment, are used as they are considered the most valuable psychological means. The testing methods and questionnaires are of great importance to the legal expert as well. However, they do not always constitute a crucial addendum like in other psychological researches. The investigational techniques mentioned above are merely to help the legal expert to resolve his doubts. The fact that those methods are implemented does not raise the value of the final motion, even though it is important that the techniques used by the expert touch upon not only the present mental state of the person being tested but also the past.
