Orphan date February 2009 Automatism , in toxicology , refers to a tendency to take a drug over and over again, forgetting each time that one has already taken the dose. This can lead to a cumulative overdose. A particular example is barbiturates which were once commonly used as hypnotic sleep inducing drugs. Among the current hypnotics, benzodiazepines , especially midazolam might show marked automatism, possibly through their intrinsic anterograde amnesia effect. Otherwise classical case of drug automatism is seen with barbiturates. Actually barbiturates are know to induce hyperalgesia i.e. aggravation of pain and for sleeplessness due to pain, if barbiturates are used, more pain and more disorientation would follow leading to drug automation annd finally a pseudo suicide. Such reports dominated the medical literature of 60s and 70s a reason for arrival of a replacing group called benzodiazepine. reference 1.

for a more detailed discussion of individual topics automatism case law Criminal defenses textbook article date June 2009 In criminal law , automatism is a defense to liability. Except in the case of strict liability offences, a crime must contain two elements the actus reus or guilty act , and the mens rea or guilty mind . This defense seeks to prove that the criminal defendant made only physical movements and did not intend to commit the act as required to prove the mens rea . The term describes movements that are characteristic of an automaton i.e., a machine that moves . The criminal defendant is charged because he or she was involved in a situation where consequences prohibited by law occurred. The substance of the defense is that the accused should be excuse d from liability because these consequences resulted from movements that were not within the defendant s control, such as reflex es, or movements made while sleepwalking . All the other conditions raised as defenses relate to the mens rea element, e.g. the defense of intoxication defense drunkenness claims that the accused could not form the mens rea , a mistake of fact , if of sufficient substance and honestly held, would give the accused a non criminal set of intentions, etc. Automatism is the only defense that excludes liability by negating the existence of the actus reus which uniquely allows it to be a defense to both conventional and strict liability offences. For example, homicidal somnambulism . Concepts In order to find a criminal guilty, the prosecution must be able to show that the accused committed an actus ... involuntary, the defense was allowed.

Orphan date February 2009 Conscious automatism C.A. is a position on the philosophic question that asks whether determinism , as distinguished from free will , can be considered the sole operant principle in human decision making. C.A. holds that we human beings, like the other animals we generally consider our inferiors, are conscious but respond as automata to our prior conditioning within our physiological powers and limitations in all of our apparently willed decisions. According to this view, the freedom we exercise in decision making, a uniqueness that convention leads us to believe distinguishes us from the other mammals, is illusory, for our motives are all, without exception, caused, in the manner we concede that all other changes are causally initiated in the world around us. Thus in epistemology C.A. is the logical conclusion of a strictly determinist explanation of human conduct and denies that our decision making is free in any sense from causal determinants. Conscious automatism, in refusing the compromise long in vogue among philosophers between freedom and determinism, has as its most disturbing corollary the abandonment of ethicists traditional reliance upon the notion of moral responsibility as the foundation of most moral systems and criminal justice institutions. It is, therefore, one of the most iconoclastic principles adduced in the history of moral philosophy as well, having profound practical societal consequences if widely accepted. The term was recently given significant new substance in the book Grandest Illusion The Seductive Myth of Free Will , ref Echo Park Press, 2006 ref by Norman Haughness, which states forcefully the case for acknowledging the power of exceptionless determinism in human behavior.

Surautomatism is any theory or act in practice of surrealism surrealist creative production taking, or purporting to take, surrealist automatism automatism to its most absurd limits. In their 1945 statement Dialectique de la Dialectique , Romania n surrealists Gherashim Luca and Dolfi Trost wrote, We have returned to the problem of knowledge through images... by establishing a clear distinction between images produced by artistic means and images resulting from rigorously applied scientific procedures, such as the operation of chance or of automatism. We stand opposed to the tendency to reproduce, through symbols, certain valid theoretical contents by the use of pictorial techniques, and believe that the unknown that surrounds us can find a staggering materialization of the highest order in indecipherable images. In generally accepting until now pictorial reproductive means, surrealist painting will find that the way to its blossoming lies in the absurd use of aplastic, objective and entirely non artistic procedures. The name surautomatism suggests going beyond automatism, but whether surautomatism is anything but a group of methods by which surrealist automatism is practiced is controversial. Surautomatism includes cubomania , Surrealist techniques Entopic graphomania entopic graphomania and various types of what the Romanian surrealists called indecipherable writing .

unreferenced date May 2010 R v Quick 1973 Q.B. 910 is an England English criminal case, dealing with sane automatism . The court ruled that sane automatism may not be used as a defence if the defendant s loss of self control is attributable to any substance they consume or not. This case demonstrates the complications in distinguishing between Insanity and Automatism, and the effect that this lack of distinction has on trials. The defendant was a nurse in a mental hospital, charged with assaulting a patient. He claimed that he had been acting involuntarily as a result of diabetic hypoglycaemia, induced by an over generous insulin and had not neutralised its effects with food, which made him violently aggressive. The trial judge ruled that this constituted insanity, not automatism. Rather than risk the stigma of an acquittal on mental health grounds, the defendant changed his plea to guilty, got a conviction, and then appealed this seems to have happened quite a lot . At appeal it was ruled that the trial judge was mistaken, and that diabetic hypoglycaemia was an induced by an external factor, and therefore gave rise to automatism, not insanity. The defendant should never have be put in the position of feeling compelled to plead guilty. The Appeal Court did say, however, that if the hypoglycaemia were self induced through negligence, it would not have been a defence. Lawton LJ, in his judgement a self induced incapacity will not excuse ... nor will one which could have been reasonably foreseen as a result of either doing or omitting to do something, for example, taking alcohol against medical advice after using certain prescribed drugs or failing to have regular meals while taking insulin.

Orphan date February 2009 Unreferenced date March 2007 Organic Surrealism is a method of pure psychic automatism by which one expresses verbally, in writing, or by any other method the true functioning of the mind . Dictation occurs in the absence of any control exercised by reason, and beyond any aesthetic, moral preoccupation, or law based in reality. The Surrealists felt free to find their own routes of expression whether they chose abstract forms, fantastic imagery, or disquieting depictions of everyday life, the choice was an individual one. They believed that art should reflect its time. Therefore, since society was being led by madmen , art should reflect that madness. Category Surrealism art movement stub ... more details

It sets out reasonably clear guidelines as to when the defence will apply, and when it will not. Facts In this case, a man succeeded in driving a substantial distance before having an accident. He was charged with dangerous driving . He could not remember anything between a very early point of the journey and immediately after the accident. It was suggested and accepted at first instance that he was not conscious of what he was doing, and that he was not capable of forming any intention as to his manner of driving. ref Hill v Baxter 1958 1 QB 277, 281. ref The reason for this is because he succumbed to an unknown illness, and so was not able to control his actions. Automatism As dangerous driving under the Road Traffic Act 1930 was an offence of strict liability, a denial of the requisite mens rea would not be enough to exculpate him. He was instead required to rely on the defence of automatism. Rayner Goddard, Baron Goddard Lord Goddard CJ ruled that there would be some situations where the driver would be in such a state of unconsciousness that he could not be said to be driving. ref Hill v Baxter 1958 1 QB 277, 283. ref This is in effect a denial of actus reus .

Scots law HM Advocate v Ross was a 1991 Scots criminal law case decided by the High Court of Justiciary . ref 1991 SLT 564, 1991 JC 210. ref The defendant had been charged with violently attacking others in a public house , but was allowed to go free on the premise that he was in a state of non self induced automatism . Others in the bar had slipped LSD and other drugs into his beer without him knowing, and there was only a small amount of alcohol he had been drinking so he was not responsible for his intoxication which led to the violent actions. This case set a key precedent in Scots law for automatism, namely that since this case, if someone has been under the effect of drugs that they themselves did not voluntarily know they were taking or were under the influence of and commit a violent act, it may be a defence for them in court if they can prove or give evidence that their intoxication was not self induced. Later cases suggested that the Scottish precedent established in Ross would be followed in England as well. ref A. P. Simester, A. T. H.
