New research will make an impact on psychiatrists, psychologists and other clinicians around the world who are trying to comprehend and reduce child-killing by women. A new article is an in-depth analysis of research that has been conducted over the past 40 years into the subject of women who kill their babies -- either within 24 hours of birth -- neonaticide -- or at a later stage -- infanticide. The article challenges the widespread view that all such women are either monsters or psychotic or both, and explores the complexities of the issues.
