TY - JOUR PY - 2010// TI - The parricide perpetrated by Pierre Rivière as an example of the failure of the adolescent process JO - Evolution psychiatrique (Paris) A1 - Marty, F. SP - 153 EP - 164 VL - 75 IS - 1 N2 - At the beginning of the 19th century, a young farmer from Normandy, age 20, killed his mother, his younger sister and his youngest brother. After wandering for one month in the woods, he turned himself in to the police. When he was interrogated by the judge, he admitted his crime and explained it in a statement of case, written in prison at the judge's demand, as a way of protecting his father whom he considered to be threatened by his wife and pushed by her to commit suicide. The analysis of this statement of case reveals a failure in the adolescent process of Pierre Rivière, which led him into a fatal narcissistic shutting up, both for himself and for his victims. © 2009 Elsevier Masson SAS.
