Abstract:
A psychiatric study is presented of a man arrested on a charge of buying a car with a forged check. Using psychoanalytic principles it was possible to delineate not only the current psychic conflict that provoked the criminal act, but also the specific childhood psychological determinants. The data are used to discuss the merits of various legal dispositions possible in this case. The suggestion is made that similar studies of criminals and criminal acts may offer more guidance for both psychiatry and jurisprudence.
