This is an important book on filicide. As a mental phenomenon present in the deepest unconscious mind of human beings, filicide behavior must obviously be detected before its destructive potential can ever be fulfilled-not to mention the psychotic condition in which this phenomenon appears more evidently. Those who wish to include family members in their professional scope must be familiar with it and understand it well, resorting to truly therapeutic intentions before they can ever be considered competent enough to address such a complicated human ensemble formed by parents and children acting affectionately towards one another.
