%0 Journal Article %T Situations of abandonment and intrusion in crimes of love and disaffection %J Journal de Medecine Legale Droit Medical %D 2016 %A Benezech, M. %V 59 %N 1 %P 55-60 %X Among relational crimes, ie serious violence (homicide, rape, arson) linked with a lasting interpersonal conflict between the criminal and the victim, extra or intra-family crimes of a h passion with loss of object are the most frequent. Their perpetrators usually suffer from per-sonality disorders, even mood disorders or psychotic manifestations, but they maintain a pre-genital, possessive, egoistic, quasi-fusional relation with their victims. It is the threat of a break in this highly ambivalent and dependent narcissistic relationship that provokes the h acting out of the crime of passion, as the loss of the object leads to an unbearable emotional distress with depressive ideation of a sometimes melancholic level (homicides-suicides). Most often, the threat of the loss of the object of attachment is the result of a situation of affective and/or domiciliary abandonment (fear of losing the partner, the children) but it is not uncommon to find also a situation of intrusion into the personal or conjugal space (parent, rival). Ultimately, situations of abandonment and intrusion appear to us to be the determi-ning causes of homicides of love and disaffection in a conflictual relational context.
