takes the place of the wife, as caretaker of the children), created a highly conflictive relationship between Sebastian and his father, which led Sebastian to not recognize his thoughts and desires as his own, plunging him into a “state of confusion,” which prevents him from grasping nuances in conduct demanded by society.55 59. The examination performed on March 17, 1994 on Sebastian’s father established that he presents a “neurotic personality structure, with psychopathic traits of disharmonious actions in situations of increased amounts of environmental stress.”56 Based on said diagnosis, the court recommended that he be given outpatient psychiatric-psychotherapeutic treatment at the Posadas National Hospital, and that certification of his constant attendance be forwarded to the court.57 60. Prior to ruling on Sebastian’s release from the hospital, in the context of the criminal case against him for serious bodily harm to his grandmother in 1994, the criminal court ordered that several interviews be conducted with Sebastian and his immediate family members at the C.I.F. On April 28, 1994, Sebastian (19), his father, Danilo Furlan (47), his mother, Susana Fernandez de Furlan (45), his sister, Sabina Furlan (18) and his brother, Claudio Furlan (14) went to the C.I.F. The conclusion drawn from these interviews was that “the family group is severely disturbed and the risk of violent action is high.” 58 61. Following several examinations and interviews, the judge ordered Sebastian’s release from the hospital in a decision on May 18, 1994, and ordered the continuation of Sebastian’s and that of his immediate family’s psychiatric treatment at C.I.F. (requiring bimonthly reporting to the court on said treatment) following the recommendation that the Zone Office of Guardianship of the Mentally Disabled had made in the context of said court case.59 The reports on said psychiatric treatment submitted for the following month noted that the immediate family attended the treatment and was improving with regard to family relationships; however, Sebastian and his father had dropped out of the treatment in July of that year, and were consequently directed by the court to continue with the treatment.60 55 Expert Medical-Psychological examination report conducted by Dr. Luis Garzoni, court-appointed expert in the case proceeding records titled “Furlan Sebastian Claus v National State for Damages”, submitted in the case on an illegible date and forwarded to the parties in court order on March 5, 1999, page 246, case proceeding records titled “Furlan Sebastian Claus v National State for Damages.” Annex to communication from the State received on October 15, 2008. 56 Case No. 27.438/3861 against Sebastian Furlan for serious bodily harm, Court for Criminal and Correctional Matters No. 5 (1994), page 47.
