TY - JOUR PY - 1987// TI - Incarcerated mothers' perceptions and interpretations of their fatally maltreated children JO - Child abuse and neglect A1 - Korbin, J. E. SP - 397 EP - 407 VL - 11 IS - 3 N2 - Fatally maltreated children are an elusive component in the complex interaction that has led to their premature deaths. Retrospective research with women imprisoned for fatal child maltreatment indicated recurring themes of maternal interpretations of their children as rejecting and developmentally abnormal, either advanced or delayed. Separations and difficulties during reunions were critical. The fatality was not a one-time event, but the exit point of a recurrent cycle of abusive interaction.
