The Infanticidal Origins of Psychosis

This book discusses the work that the author has undertaken over the last twenty-five years, as well as the work of generations of mental health practitioners over the last one hundred years, which demonstrates that broken attachments, and in particular a type of attachment that the author refers to as the "infanticidal attachment", may play a pivotal role in the development of the schizophrenic psychoses. The Infanticidal Origins of Psychosis: The Role of Trauma in Schizophreniaincludes chapters such as "The Ravages of Schizophrenia", "The Aetiology of Schizophrenia", "Theories of Biopathogenesis" and "Schizophrenia and the Holocaust".
