Adoção à brasileira: o contraste entre o afeto e a legislação

Abstract

For many years, people with mental illnesses were associated with people who were affected by evil spirits, demonised, people who were possessed. Over the years, it has been proven that mental illnesses were something natural, and that they could be proven by medicine, disassociating mental illness with demons. It was observed that there were individuals considered normal, but cold, indifferent to the pain of other people and unable to feel repentance and learn from imposed punishments. Thus, they defined them as semi-attributable people, and they would not be considered completely incapable or considered completely capable. Thus, the objective of this scientific research is to understand how the legislation acts before people considered Semi-Attributable, who commit murder, in addition to addressing the position of Medicine on the Semi-Attributables and the measures applied in these cases, the treatments attributable to the Semi-Attributable, the characteristics of these individuals and the specific tests capable of closing the diagnosis. The results of the study, done by the bibliographic and documentary method, suggest that the penalties applied to homicidal psychopaths most often do not reach their final goal, which is the resocialization of these individuals.
