The Freudian Method

A special consultant, civilian Roman Freidin, a psychologist by training, has been introduced into the investigative department of the prosecutor's office. Its appearance is due to the need to use non-traditional methods of combating crime. In his youth, Freydin traveled all over Russia and Europe, communicating with people of various professions – from qualified psychoanalysts to folk sorcerers and fortune tellers, from recognized scientists to card players with dubious reputations. In investigating crimes, Freydin relies on intuition and uses scientific techniques, recreates biokinetic pictures of events, psychophysical portraits of criminals, predicts the actions of bandits. And every time Freydin "gets into the head" of a criminal, he realizes that the tragedy could have been avoided, and that often the person who broke the law is not a gloomy villain, but a soul entangled in life circumstances.
