Excerpt from Criminal Responsibility Although, therefore, the subject of criminal responsi bility has been considered and treated exhaustively, by Sir Fitzjames Stephen, from the point of view of the professional lawyer who was in psychology an amateur, it seems that its treatment is not complete until it has been considered anew by a professional psychologist. Sir fitzjames Stephen was hampered by an insufficient knowledge of the working of the mind in health and disease.
