Abstract
This chapter introduces and evaluates the clinical and legal construct of Emotionally Triggered Involuntary Violent Behaviour not Attributed to a Mental Disorder (ETIVB). Conceived to resolve ongoing jurisprudential confusion in South African criminal law surrounding "sane automatism" and "non-pathological criminal incapacity" (NPCI), ETIVB provides psychiatrists with a structured, qualitative framework to assess claims of involuntary violent actions executed during intense emotional states.
