Many neonaticidal
mothers exhibit a lack of emotion relating to the neonaticide. This response
may reflect a detached, dehumanized relationship to the victim, or the “la belle
indifference” of an unusual response to a significant life event. Denial and
unconscious loss of memory are correlated with la belle indifference. Denial
and intact memory are associated with a detached, dehumanized relatedness to
the neonate.
