I'm looking for Analysen Zum Terrorismus 1-4, written by Ministry of the Interior, Federal Republic of Germany, I beleive there were four volumes, written in the early 1980's, It would be very helpful if they were translated to english as my german is quite rusty. Also I am looking for any other psychiatric assessments of Terrorist subjects.

I would suggest works by Dr. Marc Sageman. He is a Clinical and Forensic Psychiatrist, who is a former CIA officer. His most recent book (2004) is "Understanding Terror Networks," which focuses on the Salafist Jihadi movement and relies heavily on biographical data of some 150+ jihadists.
He also has a series of testimonies and prsentations available through a variety of sources (CSPAN, etc.)
