Jürgen Müller (doctor)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jürgen L. Müller, before 2016

Jürgen Leo Müller (born May 5, 1963 in Würzburg ) is a German specialist in neurology and psychiatry . He is university professor for forensic psychiatry and psychotherapy at the Georg-August University in Göttingen and chief physician for forensic psychiatry and psychotherapy at the Asklepios Clinic in Göttingen. His scientific interest is primarily in empirical research on forensically relevant disorders, in particular personality disorders , psychopathy, and sexual and violent crimes. A special focus is the usability of empirical techniques to answer legal questions.

Life

Jürgen Müller was the second of three children of master butcher Walter Müller and his wife Rosa, nee. Lutz, born in Würzburg, attended elementary school in Rottendorf from 1969 ; four years later the Schönborn-Gymnasium in Würzburg and from 1975 the Deutschhaus-Gymnasium (modern language branch), where he graduated from high school in 1982. After completing basic military service as a paramedic in Veitshöchheim and Wildflecken, he studied human medicine at the Julius Maximilians University of Würzburg from the 1984 summer semester to November 1990 . He began his dissertation on Oskar Panizza in 1987 with Gundolf Keil and Gerhardt Nissen . He received his doctorate in June 1991. He completed his practical year at the University of Würzburg (with the elective subject neurology ) and completed the third section of the medical examination in November 1990. After training as a specialist in neurology as well as psychiatry and psychotherapy, he worked in forensic psychiatry in Homburg / Saar, Bern and Regensburg both clinically responsible and scientifically and expertly active. In 2003, Müller completed his habilitation at the University of Regensburg on the contribution of functional magnetic resonance tomography to the connectivity model of neuropsychiatric diseases. Since 2006 he has been university professor for forensic psychiatry and psychotherapy at the Ludwig Meyer Institute of the Georg-August University in Göttingen. At the same time he is chief physician at the Asklepios Clinic for Forensic Psychiatry and Psychotherapy Göttingen.

Müller is a psychiatric expert in numerous criminal and civil proceedings. As a psychiatric expert, he was entrusted with the case of the double murderer von Bodenfelde and the gunman from Graz.

Scientific contribution

Since his 1990 psychiatry-historical dissertation on the Munich psychiatrist and writer Oskar Panizza , with which he received his doctorate summa cum laude at the Würzburg Institute for the History of Medicine in June 1991 , Müller's scientific interest has been primarily empirical research on forensically relevant disorders. In Regensburg, as head of the interdisciplinary working group “Emotion Processing and Emotion Regulation”, he carried out numerous research projects on forensically relevant disorders of the personality (“Psychopathy”), the impulse control of emotion regulation and reactive and proactive forms of aggression. The studies on eye registration ( eye tracking also in combination with fMRI ) carried out in Göttingen in addition to the classic forensic questions aim to evaluate the potential of empirical investigators of independent parameters for diagnosis, prognosis and therapy evaluation.

Müller was summoned to the question of the privatization of sovereign tasks in 2006 before the Lower Saxony State Court of Bückeburg and in 2011 as an expert before the Federal Constitutional Court . In 2012 he prepared an expert opinion for the Federal Constitutional Court on the question of "mental disorders" within the framework of the Therapy Accommodation Act . This takes up the argument in the case of K. from 2003 on the question of whether society can be protected from highly dangerous but mentally healthy criminals with the help of the Bavarian Accommodation Act. The rejection by the Bavarian Supreme Court based on this report then led to the introduction of the Bavarian Criminal Offender Accommodation Act.

Müller did research on the problem of false positives (these are the subjects held in custody, although not again delinquent) in risk prognoses: The study presented and continued by Müller on legal probation after non-ordered subsequent preventive detention now includes a catamnesis after obtaining current extracts from the Federal Central Register - Period of 6.5 years and a larger number of cases.

Currently, Müller is involved in the development and use of virtual realities in the diagnosis, treatment and risk assessment of forensic psychiatric patients as well as in cooperation with the central facility for people in preventive detention in Lower Saxony in Rosdorf for dangerous criminals. The projects Virprotect (development of a virtual environment for the treatment of child abusers) , ViVT (development of a virtual environment for the objective recording of sexual interest in prepubescent children) and VIRAC (development of virtual environments for the risk assessment of child abusers) aim at research and use in sex offenders. In addition, a corresponding use in the diagnosis, assessment and treatment of violent offenders was prepared.

As head of an interdisciplinary working group set up by the scientific society DGPPN, Müller works towards a consensus for minimum standards to be established nationwide for treatment in psychiatric measures . These should anchor professionally justified lower limits for the financial and human resources and require scientifically based recommendations on the quality of processes, structures and results. The need to improve the quality assurance of treatment in psychiatric measures was highlighted by the decisions on preventive detention by the European Court of Human Rights and the Federal Constitutional Court, the public response in the Mollath case and the unchecked increase in the number of people detained in the measure.

Taking up the current explosiveness, Müller was commissioned in 2014 by the Rhineland-Palatinate Ministry of Social Affairs to develop appropriate quality indicators. From the Ministry of Justice of Austria he was involved in the reform of the law on measures as a member of the sub-working group “Dangerousness”. With the support of the Ministry of Social Affairs in Lower Saxony, an investigation is also being prepared into long-term detained patients in the penal system (more than 10 years of detention; that is now almost a third of the penal institutions nationwide), in which particular obstacles to discharge are to be focused. Since 2012, Müller has been leading a third-party funded project for the prevention of sexual abuse (PsM) funded by the state of Lower Saxony, UM Göttingen and Asklepios GmbH Lower Saxony.Together with P. Briken, Hamburg and M. Rösler, Homburg, Saar, Müller initiated the hiking conference Empirical Research in 2010 forensic psychiatry, psychology, psychotherapy . The Ludwig Meyer Prize, the Herrmann Witter Prize and the Eberhardt Schorsch Prize were awarded with the aim of promoting young empirical researchers on forensically relevant disorders. Müller has been the spokesman for the Forensic Psychiatry Unit of the DGPPN since 2010, and was a member of the board from 2012 to 2014. Müller is committed to the further development of standards for criminal and civil law assessment (Müller and Saimeh). He has been chairman of the DGPPN certification committee since 2013.
