    APPENDIX E [1]
    INFANTICIDE: DISORDERS AND CLASSIFICATION
    PROFESSOR IAN BROCKINGTON*
    TABLE 1
    Mental Disorder during parturition and the post-partum period

    Image 1Image 2

    1 This is the subject of chapter 3 of my monograph Eileithyia's Mischief: the Organic Psychoses of Pregnancy, Parturition and the Puerperium (with 250 references).
    2 These are the subject of chapters 1, 2 and 4 to 7 of Eileithyia's Mischief (with 1,000 references).
    3 For review, see Motherhood and Mental Health, chapter 4 (500 references).
    4 For review, see Motherhood and Mental Health, chapter 6.
    5 For review, see Motherhood and Mental Health, chapter 3.
    TABLE 2
    Classification of infanticide6

    Image 3

    6 For review, see Motherhood and Mental Health, chapter 8. With only 150 references, this does not do justice to the vast continental literature on this subject, but there is at present no more extensive review.
