Abstract:
The report presents the current views on the development, course, as well as mechanisms underlying some disorders in the sphere of motivational processes, and especially in the sphere of will expression, aspirations and actions. The authors also analyze various aspects of the effect that is exerted by such disorders on such mental and psychosomatic functions that determine the validity of will declaration. The report emphasizes the necessity for separate evaluation of the ability to consciously or freely express will and reach decisions. Another important issue discussed in the paper is the prerequisite of including the effect of a given specific legal situation and factors other than psychopathological that can modify motivation, behavior and actions undertaken by the evaluated person.
