„Gdzie kończy się norma, (…) a zaczyna patologia”. Kilka uwag o niepoczytalności na gruncie wielomodelowego definiowania zdrowia psychicznego w świetle rozważań George’a E. Vaillanta
“Where the norm ends, (...) and pathology begins”. A few remarks on insanity on the grounds of the multi-model definition of mental health in the light of George E. Vaillant’s considerations

Summary/Abstract: The common understanding of normality describes something which is not different, it does not go beyond the ordinary. Pathology in this point of view is located outside the area of described normality, equated with ordinaryity. This work attempts to establish pathology determinants as well as norms in the perspective of substantive criminal law, psychology and psychiatry. It may seem that all the arguments “for and against” based on legal provisions as well as the views of doctrine have already been put forward in this area. Between one concept and the other (sanity and insanity, as well as norms and pathologies), there is no vacuum. There are states whose essence is the lack of constancy in the broad sense of the meaning, as well as states which, on the one hand, fall within the field of pathology from the point of view of psychiatry and psychology, and in the perspective of the law do not constitute a condition of insanity or limited sanity.
