520 | _aIn this article, infanticide is illustrated through four clinical cases in the form of a story. The story concerns psychotherapy sessions for women who have been jailed for killing their newborns. This story considers the criminal deed in the context of the mother’s personal history in a transference situation, where the therapist emerges. The contingent analysis of the story outlines the sociohistorical fabric around the generic and criminal feminine; a fabric without which the meaning and the arbitrariness of the infanticide would be cancelled. While we can apply an ad-hoc “psychotization” of the maternal infanticidal act, the four clinical examples show a psychopathological heterogeneity, where neurosis competes with psychosis. As for the Erinyes, the relentless hatred, revenge, and reversal ( perversio) attack the filial relationship, but paradoxically protect the criminal mother from a mental collapse. | ||
