In this prospective controlled experiment, pursuing the objective of developing the criteria for the expert assessment of competence to stand trial in individuals with organic personality disorder due to epilepsy, we have carried out the analysis of the clinical picture of their disorder, and identified the symptom complexes which impair and limit the capacity to defend one’s own rights in the course of courtroom proceedings. We have evaluated the influence exerted by the identified psychopathological syndromes on various elements of self-regulation at the target and the semantic levels of regulation of legally significant activity. Depending on the prevalence of either defensive or explosive personality changes and cognitive disorders in the clinical picture, we have identified the mechanisms of impairment of the target level of self-regulation at the stages of goal-setting and goal-attainment.
