Summary/Abstract: The author generally reviews crucial problems which, in his opinion, appear in a psychology‑law relationship, and formulates his own theoretical theses against this background. Thus, he discusses (1) the relationships of psychology with law, (2) a psycho- logical and legal approach to behaviour analysis, (3) a methodological perspective of what is objective, general and idiosyncratic in psychology, (4) a notion of “specific knowledge” as a criterion and reason for appointing expert witnesses, (5) the subject and tasks of forensic psychology, (6) some methodological and crucial problems of a psychologist as an expert witness, as well as (7) ethical‑professional problems of an expert witness psychologist.
