Psychopathologie wird dadurch zur interdisziplinären Wissenschaft, daß sie spezifisch psychopathologische Fragen, wie die nach der Schuldfähigkeit, systematisch beantworten kann. Bislang unterstellten psychiatrische Phänomenologen quasi-objektive, "reine" Inhalte geistiger paintings ("Wesensschau"), die nur beschrieben, in ihrer grenzenlosen Vielfalt aber systematisch erfaßt werden können. Gleichwohl wurden sie den im forensischen conversation eingeführten Begriffen zugrundegelegt. Erkenntnistheoretische Besinnung geht von Kant aus und zeigt, daß Phänomene dem Erkennen nicht fertig vorgegeben sind, sondern (in der Sprache) hergestellt werden. Erst durch Untersuchung der Herstellungsprinzipien wird Phänomenologie formalisiert und Psychopathologie - mit den über ihre praktische Brauchbarkeit entscheidenden Kontrollmöglichkeiten - systematisch. Das Buch trägt den Entwicklungen der letzten 15 Jahre auf dem Gebiet der forensischen Psychiatrie Rechnung. Es erfüllt die Funktion eines grundlegenden Lehrbuches der gerichtlichen Psychologie und Psychiatrie.
