Abstract

Introduction: The birth of a child is marked by changes in the life of a family and can be experienced as a moment of fulfillment and joy, as well as a source of stress, fear and insecurity. The configurations of family relationships are socially formed as a place of protection and construction of bonds. However, this culture can be disrupted through murder, as in the case of Gypsy Rose and Dee Dee Blanchard. The objective of this research is to understand the intrinsic and extrinsic factors that can motivate the subject to commit the homicidal act between parents and children, using the case Gypsy Rose and Dee Dee Blanchard from the perspective of Occupational Therapy and correlate with social skills, to explore of ideas and feelings of those involved, combining the idea of social insertion and self-knowledge, through the documentary: Mommy Dead and Dearest (Mommy Dead and Dearest - subtitled), by Erin Lee Carr, 82 'Doc, USA, from HBO (2017). Methodological Path: This is a descriptive research, with a qualitative character of the categorical content analysis type. Results and Discussions: It was identified in the case analyzed that among the factors that led to the homicide we have a history of abuse, such as failures in the systems (assistance, safety and protection), the side effects of medications, an overprotective relationship and for freedom. Final Considerations: it was observed that intrinsic and extrinsic factors led to the homicidal act and also motivational factors that depend on subjective aspects of the individual who commits the crime and their relationship with the victim.
