description This paper reviews the frequency of suicide and filicide in a literature of over 4000, and personal series of 321, childbearing psychoses.

The filicide rate is high in depressive psychoses (4.5 %), but lower in episodes without overt depression (less than 1 %), and some of these appear to be accidental, without intent to kill.
