A study of filicidal men

JF Campion, JM Cravens and F Covan
Department of Psychiatry, New York University Medical Center, New York.

Twelve filicidal men were examined on a forensic psychiatric service. The majority suffered from severe mental impairments due to psychosis, neurological disorders, substance abuse, or mental retardation. Most of the filicidal acts committed by these chronically impaired men resulted from isolated explosive behavior.
