There have been forensic-psychiatric observations from 1963 to 1983 concerning the offenders responsibility in case of deliberate arson with 12 out of 147 suits being closely related to (para-)suicide. According the variety of relations we distinguish between fire as pure means of suicide, fire used to take along the living space or people, suicide committed in consequence of arson, furthermore arson as a symbolic suicide, and finally acting alternately with both arson as well as parasuicide.
1963年至1983年期间有一些法医精神病学观察结果，涉及故意纵火案中犯罪者的责任，147起案件中有12起与（准）自杀密切相关。根据关系的多样性，我们区分出以下几种情况：火灾作为纯粹的自杀手段、用于摧毁居住空间或伤害他人的火灾、纵火导致的自杀、此外还有纵火作为一种象征性自杀，以及最后交替实施纵火和准自杀行为。
