Psychiatric expertise in court implies specific requirements with regard to the formal aspects. On the one hand, they are determined by psychiatry as a branch of medical research and on the other by the fact that the expert testimony serves as a piece of evidence in court. Up to now psychiatrists have focused on the legal consequences of different kinds of diseases rather than on the formal aspects of expertise testimony. In this paper, we try to reconcile the specific requirements of psychiatric exploration with the requirements that have to be fulfilled in order to convince the court.
法庭上的精神病学专业知识意味着在形式方面有特定要求。一方面，这些要求由作为医学研究分支的精神病学决定，另一方面由专家证言在法庭上作为一项证据这一事实决定。到目前为止，精神病学家一直专注于不同疾病的法律后果，而非专家证言的形式方面。在本文中，我们试图使精神病学探究的特定要求与为说服法庭而必须满足的要求相协调。
