The issues of an integrated approach to the forensic psychiatric assessment of persons who have committed sexual crimes by information and telecommunication technologies are considered. The main stages of decision-making are identified and analyzed. The features of the formation of ideas about the problem being solved, decision-making strategies, and the choice of alternatives are considered. Approaches to assessing the subject's ability to comprehend and regulate legally significant behavior are defined. An algorithm for forensic psychiatric assessment is formulated, according to which the most significant are the severity and nature of the leading psychopathological symptoms and the degree of its influence on the cognitive and volitional components of behavior regulation.
