The topic tackled
by this work concerns the links between two sense-making
practices–the medical-psychiatric one and the legal one–in which the
relationships between language, cognition and society are traced by discursive
modulation of the “certainty/ uncertainty” axis, which characterises the
processes of sense-making activated in representing reality and in the socially
shared aspiration of truth.
The binding
nature of this system is even more evident when, like in this work, two totally
different epistemological worlds and communicative registers meet with
particular reference to the “mentally ill” perpetrators and victims of crimes.
