Abstract
This paper is concerned with mutual murderously aggressive interaction between mothers and their children. The dynamics of this interaction, along with the relative frequency of this problem, are illustrated by case material. Some aspects are discussed. In particular, the ‘Climate of Aggression’ and the progressive development of an ‘Interchange of Hatred’ from which denial of the instinctual mother-child relationship results, are of importance. There appear to be factors in both mothers and children underlying the loss of normal inhibition against the discharge of murderous feelings.
