Crime Classification Manual Part II Chapter 6 C 86
A
STANDARD SYSTEM FOR INVESTIGATING AND CLASSIFYING VIOLENT CRIMES
SECOND
EDITION
Some
neonaticidal mothers experience dissociative symptoms during labor and after
the birth; several neonaticidal mothers have reported amnesia about the events
leading up to and surrounding the birth, the birth itself, or events
immediately after the birth. Psychosis and depression, however, are relatively
less frequent among neonaticidal mothers.
After the birth
and disposal of the infant’s body, the mother also may exhibit an unfazed or
indifferent emotional stance, facilitated by her denial of the existence of the
infant—reinforced with the neonaticide but dissolved with revelation of the
crime.
