Uncovering the Act of Maternal Infanticide from a Psychological, Political, and Jungian Perspective - Paperback

by Brooke Laufer (Author)

Using a wide range of disciplinary backgrounds, Laufer examines the topic of maternal infanticide through the lens of Jungian theory and presents an integrated and forensic view of this issue as an aggregate of personal and political moments, and as a feminine and feminist outcry urging human evolution.
