Social behaviour, emotion regulation and competency are of particular relevance in forensic psychiatry. Structural-morphological and functional imaging studies prove that emotion regulation, aggressive:impulsive behaviour and learning from negative experiences are greatly influenced by frontal brain regions. These abilities are impaired in severe cases of dissocial personality disorders and in traumatic much greater than pseudopsychopathy much less than. In this article, the importance of functional and structural imaging in patients with delinquency and personality disorders is illustrated by two case reports on patients who were admitted to a forensic-psychiatric facility for sexual crimes. The article gives an overview of the literature as well as a neurobiological model of aggression and emotion.
