Abstract:
The article is devoted to: a) the theoretical analysis of mental functions, which proper level of development determines human's responsibility. The responsibility is understood in two ways: as a personality feature and as an ability to take consequences of one's action; b) the analysis of individual differences and pathological forms of responsibility due to varied psychic disorders and developmental deficits; c) the clinical introduction of six case studies concerned with people who suffer from lrresponsibility Syndrom (IS).
