Abstract
Following a review of the literature on parricide, family violence theory is briefly explored regarding its applicability to understanding the parricidal family. Characteristics of the adult perpetrator, including the role of the victim, is discussed and two cases illustrating successful prevention are presented. Finally, two case illustrations are presented and the issue of preventive intervention based on the psychoeducation model is discussed.
