Discuss some of the famous "insanity defense" cases listed in ( PsychWatch on page 531 of the Fundamentals of Abnormal Psychology 8th edition textbook) as they relate to your understanding of the M'Naghten rule and the primary symptoms of the presenting disorder. For example, is it possible that Andrea Yates knew "right from wrong" if she was experiencing postpartum psychosis? What are the issues for the mental health profession? For the legal profession?
