The author presents a report of the etiology and remission in a former forensic psychiatric patient who was found guilty for 13 crimes, including traffic offenses, fraud, thefts, rape, and assaults. He committed these crimes over a period of 11 years (from age 15 to 26). The patient was cured by therapeutic and psychosocial influences and by life events that made a strong impression on him. At present, he has been living for more than 20 years in freedom, leads a normal life, is happily married, and has never reoffended.
