[Structural dynamics and delinquent behavior].
Using key concepts of Janzarik's structural-dynamic model, this article describes some of the potential uses of this model in a forensic setting. We will especially take into account that aspect of Janzarik's work from the start of his research in the 1950s through to the late 1990s which particularly addressed forensic questions. Using the example of dynamic Unstetigkeit and structural derailment, the aspect of 'mental content becoming autonomous' will be considered regarding Schuldunfahigkeit. Taking the example of autopraxis, successful and disturbed balance between impulsivity and self-control in personality disorder will be clarified and concerning the concept of self-corruption the self-induced corroboration of dissocial attitudes will be explained. The author considers the user-friendly work of Janzarik to be a fundamental instrument for answering questions in forensic psychiatry.
