This paper describes a rare forensic psychiatric syndrome which has been the subject of massive publicity in the last decade. Despite the widespread interest, the psychodynamic process whereby a person becomes a serial murderer remains largely unknown. "Jacob" was convicted of a series of murders that he carried out over a decade. The case material is based on the psychiatric reports that were presented to the court and the many articles published in the local press at the time. Despite the limitations imposed by the material, the available information on "Jacob" bears some similarity to the phenomenological and psychodynamic models described in the literature. An attempt is made to understand the transformation of a person into a serial killer considering the life events, psychopathology and stressors that lead to the emergence from the world of imagination and fantasy of a potential murderer to the deeds that comprise the syndrome.
本文描述了一种罕见的法医精神病综合征，在过去十年中，它一直是大量媒体报道的主题。尽管引起了广泛关注，但一个人成为连环杀手的心理动力学过程在很大程度上仍然不为人知。“雅各布”被判定犯有他在十多年间犯下的一系列谋杀罪。该案例材料基于提交给法庭的精神病学报告以及当时当地媒体发表的众多文章。尽管材料存在局限性，但关于“雅各布”的现有信息与文献中描述的现象学和心理动力学模型有一些相似之处。本文试图通过考虑导致一个潜在杀手从想象和幻想世界浮现出来并实施构成该综合征的行为的生活事件、精神病理学和压力源，来理解一个人转变为连环杀手的过程。
