Theoretical framework proposes a model to understand criminal behavior through psychoanalytic concepts, indicating potential for psychological assessment and profiling.
Psychoanalytic Criminal System (PCS) is a theoretical framework developed to integrate psychoanalytic concepts with criminal psychology and forensic behavioral analysis. The model proposes a structured approach to understanding criminal behavior through unconscious processes, intrapsychic conflicts, personality organization, and motivational dynamics. PCS aims to provide a conceptual foundation for psychological assessment, criminal profiling, and future empirical research. This publication presents the initial theoretical formulation of the model and is intended to encourage academic discussion, critical evaluation, and further scientific development.
