The authors discuss the issue of objective assessment of complexity in forensic psychiatric evaluation. The complexity of expert assessment is determined by a combination of factors hampering clinical diagnosis and making it difficult to assess the legal significance of a mental disorder. There have been four groups of complexity of examinations in civil cases and three groups of complexity of expertise in criminal cases singled out.
