Synne Soerheim: Breivik

Paranoid Schizophrenia Dept: Torgeir Husby and Synne Soerheim, who concluded that Breivik suffers from paranoid schizophrenia, stuck to their findings when presenting their 239-page report on the right-wing extremist's mental health to the court. They insisted he is driven by delusions rather than political conviction, saying he resembled people who believe they are the new Napoleon, according to Winnipeg Free Press. Their report came under fire for lacking knowledge of right-wing terminology and for interpreting Breivik's political explanations for his rampage as symptoms of schizophrenia. The court then ordered a second evaluation by other psychiatrists, who came to the opposite conclusion, deeming him sufficiently mentally competent to go to prison and oSLO - The psychiatrists who have faced intense criticism for deeming Anders Behring Breivik the self-confessed killer of 77 people in Norway last year too mentally unfit to go to prison defended their stance Thursday, calling him delusional. "One doesn't go collecting expertise in historical facts if a new Napoleon is admitted to a clinic , not even if he arrives in full uniform," Husby said. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
