Clinical approaches to maternal infanticide: Family secrecy and incest - 2025.
57
Using clinical case studies, the authors propose a psychodynamic understanding of the act of maternal infanticide. They analyze how intrapsychic factors can drive mothers to kill their children—an act that may represent an attempt to erase their lineage and resolve a conflict that echoes a transgenerational trauma that has become intrapsychic. These unprocessed traumas manifest through family secrets and incestuous dynamics passed down through generations.
