title: [Preventive psychotherapy for prevention of stealing].
abstract: In order to prevent patients from stealing, two categories of delinquents are to be taken into consideration: Those who suffer from somatic diseases and psychoses, e.g. prophyria, hypoglycemia, hebephrenia, schizophrenia, depression, mania or epileptic semiconscious states must be treated according to the basic sickness and by means of a supporting psychotherapy. In court exculpation should be recommended. Other people who fell the urge to steal are psychosocially disturbed. This may begin with lying, bad results at school and during professional or university training, and sometimes with running away from home. As soon as the family doctor observes these or similar phenomena, he should inform the parents, in order to start a preventive therapy of the family together with the prospective thief.
