Major lines of thought within the development of forensic psychiatry are discussed. The historical perspective will be helpful in creating a solid theoretical framework for the ongoing debate on the objectives and methods of forensic psychiatry as a scientific field and will support arguments against uncritical shortcomings and simplifications, so often met in recent years. Forensic psychiatry can only be understood properly in the context of general psychiatry, including its historical dimension. Significant neurobiological and neurophilosophical approaches to the mind-brain relationship in general and to the etiology of mental disorders in particular are outlined. Although to some psychiatrists they appear provoking or even threatening in a way, they offer the opportunity to rethink major conceptual issues within clinical and forensic psychiatry.
本文讨论了法医精神病学发展过程中的主要思想脉络。历史视角将有助于为当前关于法医精神病学作为一个科学领域的目标和方法的辩论建立一个坚实的理论框架，并支持反对近年来经常出现的不加批判的缺点和简化的观点。只有在普通精神病学的背景下，包括其历史维度，才能正确理解法医精神病学。本文概述了关于心脑关系，特别是精神障碍病因的重要神经生物学和神经哲学方法。尽管对一些精神病学家来说，它们在某种程度上显得具有挑衅性甚至威胁性，但它们提供了重新思考临床和法医精神病学中主要概念问题的机会。
