Abstract
Justice is one of the fundamental concepts of right ordering in human relationships. Although it is commonly automatically connected with law,it has abroader meaning and is also related to psychotherapy; to both the content of what the client says and interpersonal behavior in the therapeutic relationship.
Justice is a regulative idea for the arrangement of society preceding the law and already seen in animals and young children. It is one of the fundamental demandson human behavior as wellas relationships in society.
In psychotherapy, it sometimes appears directly in what the client says (mostly about in justice) but more frequently, the issuei simplicitly contained in the complaint sand stories against a background of conflicts and problems. The ability to altruistic behavior, sense off airness, reciprocity and mutual help are probably genetically determined as a disposition, which may further develop through or be deformed by education.
These are genetically determined probably because they allowed coexistence in a group without which humans would not have survived. In the proces of natural selection, genes were more frequently selected that contributed totolerance among people (unfortunately, including genes associated with crime as this may have selective advantages as well).
Thus, both altruistic and criminal behaviors are, to a great extent, genetically determined and passed from generation to generation.
