Medicine's Susan Hatters-Friedman discusses filicide murder case

Child killer denied parole for fourth time

Psychology Today: Susan Hatters-Friedman, the Phillip J. Resnick Professor of Forensic Psychiatry at the School of Medicine, said a recent case reflects a well-documented form of filicide in which a parent views children as obstacles to personal goals. She emphasized that lack of remorse and enduring personality pathology are key factors parole boards consider when assessing ongoing danger.
