Sažetak

Based on his deep knowledge of past and present psychiatric theory and practice, the author of this paper formulates for the first time the almost inevitable prognostic construction of the thesis on the development of psychiatry in the future. The definition of the boundaries of individual forensic psychiatry areas is considered first. This is followed by an examination of mental capacity and freedom of will, an assessment of danger to the environment and/or to one’s own person, and by the universal classifications of mental disorders. Next, issues of specific civil-law forensic psychiatry are reviewed, and this is connected to further consideration of the topic of forensic psychiatry concerning children and adolescents. The author emphasises that huge scientific progress will transform the very essence of forensic psychiatry and that the phenomenon of “too much knowledge” will jeopardise the present models of cooperation between forensic psychiatry and law, which will require new, revolutionary solutions. Specific ideas are presented in the conclusion on the directions of the future development of forensic psychiatry legislation and forensic psychiatry at the global level.
