Abstract

Following George Kelly’s notion of sociality, this study attempts to construe the construction processes of filicidal fathers in South Africa. Semi-structured interviews scheduled according to Experience Cycle Methodology phases were employed with four such fathers. Kelly’s diagnostic constructs were used in the analysis of the interviews, offering insight into the pathways of construing which may lead to filicide-homicide. Methods of assessment and treatment are suggested which might be effective in reducing the risk of recidivism and enabling a revision of the construct system which might lead to the development of constructive alternatives to violence.

我杀了我的孩子：构建杀戮的途径

摘要

遵循乔治凯利的社会性概念，本研究试图解释南非孝顺父亲的构建过程。根据经验周期方法阶段安排的半结构化访谈与四位这样的父亲一起使用。凯利的诊断结构被用于对访谈的分析，提供了对可能导致杀害儿童的解释途径的洞察。提出了评估和治疗方法，这些方法可能有效降低再犯风险，并能够对构建系统进行修订，从而开发出建设性的暴力替代方案。
