Abstract

Diagnostical and forensical problems of "incomprehensible" offences of adolescents and juveniles are discussed, which lack any motive and even a "repressed" conflict is not there to analyse. Here unacceptable parts of the personality are split in the sense of a borderline-structure of personality; the described offenders belong to those people, who are lost for a short time in day dreams and borderline-realities and in this situation are unable to get back to the common reality of their environment. An exact analysis of such cases could change our ideas about the nosology of schizophrenia and give it a development-psychological foundation.
