[The development of expert systems for forensic psychiatric evaluation]

Possible methodological approaches to elaboration of the expert systems in forensic psychiatry are presented. These systems are intended for doubtful "borderline" cases. The comparison of psychopathologic parameters with peculiarities of criminal situation (character of the delinquency, the role of the examined person, other factors) is the base of such approach. The advantage of clinical logical method over the mathematical one at the present stage of forensic psychiatry development is demonstrated.
