This paper describes a case of eviration by a second person. A 53-year-old man persuaded an acquaintance to evirate him for money. Forensic psychiatric assessments of the two subjects were carried out. Both men suffered from psychiatric disorders: the first from a delusional disorder of somatic type, histrionic personality disorder and slight mental retardation associated with diabetes (subject 1), and the second - the active subject - from alcohol abuse in remission associated with borderline personality disorder and slight mental retardation (subject 2). The case offers many opportunities for reflection from a clinical and forensic point of view.

Abstract

This paper describes a case of eviration by a second person. A 53-year-old man persuaded an acquaintance to evirate him for money. Forensic psychiatric assessments of the two subjects were carried out. Both men suffered from psychiatric disorders: the first from a delusional disorder of somatic type, histrionic personality disorder and slight mental retardation associated with diabetes (subject 1), and the second - the active subject - from alcohol abuse in remission associated with borderline personality disorder and slight mental retardation (subject 2). The case offers many opportunities for reflection from a clinical and forensic point of view.
