Résumé
Cette synthèse trace le bilan des recherches cliniques et épidémiologiques des écrits sur le fratricide et le sororicide et présente les facteurs situationnels, dynamiques et psychopathologiques, ainsi que les motivations liées au geste. Une recherche bibliographique effectuée à l’aide de plusieurs bases de données a permis d’identifier et de synthétiser 43 textes sur le sujet. Trois profils types d’agresseurs selon l’âge lors du passage à l’acte ont été identifiés, soit les enfants âgés de moins de 11 ans, les pré-adolescents/adolescents, âgés de 11 à 17 ans, et les adultes âgés de 18 ans et plus. Les facteurs associés au passage à l’acte varient selon les trois groupes d’agresseurs. Le rôle des parents est important dans la prévention des passages à l’acte violent chez les enfants et les adolescents. Des recommandations pour les recherches futures sont aussi présentées.
Abstract
This paper aims to describe clinical and epidemiological factors about fratricide and sororicide. It is based on situational, dynamic and psychopathological assessment, and to act-related motivations. A bibliographic search on many databases allowed the identification and synthesis of 43 papers on the matter. Three profiles of agressors, according to age, were identified: children under 11, pre-teenagers/teenagers from 11 to 17, and the adults. The parental role is important in prevention of acting-outs of children and teenagers. Further recommendations for future research are also included.
