abstract="While listening to the news one will all too often hear a story about the murder of a child. At times we hear of a child who dies after severe physical abuse by the guardian. Less often we hear about the death of a child who had been killed by a parent who had no previous history of abuse toward the child. The act of infanticide raises the implication of suicide and identity fusion with the child by the parent. This article presents a case study of a woman who was incarcerated for the murder of her child. A description of the jail situation, background of murdering parents and possible underlying motivation for child murder by the parent is discussed. © 1990 American Art Therapy Association, Inc.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
