OverviewUnderstanding Parricide is the most comprehensive book available about juvenile and adult sons and daughters who kill their parents. Dr. Heide moves far behind the statistical correlates of parricide by synthesizing the professional literature on parricide in general, matricide, patricide, double parricides, and familicides. As a clinician, she explains the reasons behind the killings. Understanding Parricide includes in-depth discussion of issues related to prosecuting and defending parricide offenders. The book is enriched with its focus on clinical assessment, case studies, and follow-up of parricide offenders, as well as treatment, risk assessment, and prevention.

Risk Assessment and Prevention Notes References About the Author IndexReviews<br> No one knows the field of parricide better than Dr. Heide or presents it in such a thoughtful, compelling and comprehensive manner. Combining a no-stone-unturned critical review of the research with a masterful presentation of many cases, including some of Heide's own, Understanding Parricide is clearly the definitive work on parricide. -- Charles Patrick Ewing, J.D., Ph.D., SUNY Distinguished Service Professor, University at Buffalo Law School, author of When Children Kill, Kids Who Kill, and Fatal Families<br><p><br> Having established herself as one of the leading authorities on juvenile homicide, expectations are high for Kathleen Heide's latest volume-specifically, about kids who kill their parents. Clearly, she did not disappoint. Professor Heide has done a masterful job of assembling and interpreting a scattered literature on this troubling topic. I will keep this book close by on my shelf to serve as a solid resource, and I'm sure others who research homicide will do so as well. -- James Alan Fox, Ph.D., The Lipman Family Professor of Criminology, Law and Public Policy at Northeastern University, author of The Will to Kill and Extreme Killing<br><p><br> This fascinating work, weaving together a meticulous literature review, national statistics, and illuminating case reports, covers parricide from stem to stern. Dr. Heide's decades of experience with these offenders shines brightly throughout. In Understanding Parricide, she has unraveled the mystery of parricide as far as modern science will allow. -- Wade C. Myers, M.D., Professor, Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior, Alpert Medical School of Brown University and Director of Forensic Psychiatry, Rhode Island Hospital <br><p><br> The importance of Professor Heide's book is that it is based on her hands-on professional experience as well as her extensive knowledge of the literature. It will significantly contribute to a better understanding of the problem of parricide and it will be an invaluab Understanding Parricide provides a comprehensive and compelling treatment of this complex subject that could become the standard reference in the field. Nothing is lacking in its coverage and presentation of research conclusions about an array of topics, including child maltreatment, matricide, patricide, legal issues in defending, prosecuting, and punishing offenders, forensic assessment, treatment, risk assessment, and prevention. The reader will become acutely aware of the family, societal, and legal circumstances of parricide offenders. Special attention is given to the involvement of females in various types of parricides. DWC DivisioNews Book Reviews, Summer 2013 Kathleen Heide is an extraordinarily well-qualified person to write an excellent summary and evaluation of knowledge about parricide... In addition to being a distinguished researcher, she is a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida. She has engaged in countless forensic evaluations of killers, both for the prosecution and the defense, and she draws on this experience to provide in her current book an extraordinarily rich account of parricides and their outcomes in the legal system... Heide's volume is a masterpiece of epidemiological, clinical, forensic, and thoughtful policy analysis. I hope that it becomes a standard assignment in graduate schools of criminal justice and also for any mental health professionals wishing to understand and to work with parricides. Keith E. Davis for PsycCritiques, July 2013 Author InformationKathleen M. Heide, Ph.D., is Professor of Criminology at the University of South Florida, Tampa.
