Our aim was to find out which social and psychological factors characterize forensic psychiatric patients who have committed family homicide with revenge as a reason as compared to subjects who committed family homicide with other motives. Qualitative research was carried out on the basis of pre-trial forensic assessment reports of existing cases (N=20), divided between Revenge and No-Revenge cases. In case of revenge, violence was almost always a sort of settling of an interpersonal score. Psychotic symptomatology was absent in the Revenge cases, personality problems (particularly borderline and narcissistic traits) were common. Demoralization because of a decline of well-being seems to be an important factor pushing some persons with such vulnerabilities over the edge. Our expectation is that, at least in a certain proportion of (non-psychotic) patients, there will be more brooding on revenge than the psychotherapist suspects.
我们的目的是找出,与出于其他动机实施家庭凶杀的对象相比,以复仇为动机实施家庭凶杀的法医精神病患者具有哪些社会和心理特征。基于现有案件(N = 20)的审前法医评估报告进行了定性研究,这些案件分为复仇案件和无复仇案件。在复仇案件中,暴力几乎总是一种人际间恩怨的解决方式。复仇案件中不存在精神病症状,人格问题(尤其是边缘型和自恋型特质)很常见。幸福感下降导致的士气低落似乎是促使一些具有此类脆弱性的人走向极端的一个重要因素。我们预计,至少在一定比例的(非精神病)患者中,对复仇的沉思会比心理治疗师怀疑的更多。
