The author's aim is to objectivate the importance of the psychoanalytical concept of "object-loss" in the "criminogenous" passional process, as described by De Greeff. To illustrate his claim, he proceeds to the criminological analysis of Werther, a novel of great psychological realism, by Goethe. He them studies the personality of criminal driven by passion, where borderline and narcissistic features prevail. The object relation with the victim is usually of a narcissistic pregenital type. Any serious threat to this object relation creates a dangerous situation which can resolve in murder, frequently followed by the murderer's suicide. The author finally states that the so-called "passional" crime is not the only form of suicide/homicide, the psychopathology of which involves object-loss. This kind of acting is in fact also observed in melancholia, psychoses and prepsychotic states, depressions with jealousy, borderlines and the actors of "accompanied suicides".
作者的目的是客观呈现德·格里夫所描述的“犯罪性”激情过程中精神分析概念“客体丧失”的重要性。为了阐明自己的观点，他对歌德所著的具有高度心理现实主义的小说《少年维特的烦恼》进行了犯罪学分析。接着，他研究了受激情驱使的罪犯的人格，这类人格中边缘型和自恋型特征占主导。与受害者的客体关系通常是自恋型的前生殖器期类型。对这种客体关系的任何严重威胁都会造成一种危险的局面，可能以谋杀告终，凶手随后常常自杀。作者最后指出，所谓的“激情”犯罪并非涉及客体丧失的自杀/杀人的唯一形式。事实上，在忧郁症、精神病和精神病前期状态、伴有嫉妒的抑郁症、边缘型人格障碍以及“共同自杀”的实施者中也能观察到这种行为。
