#3 January 22 Day 5 Pick up a copy of the article Motherhood And Murder and read the article. Andrea Yates committed a horrendous act when she murdered her children. Different reasons have been suggested for why Andrea behaved the way she did. Dr. Diamond writes: Was it the shadow that made her do it? The devil? Demonic possession? Or was it, as mainstream psychiatry dogmatically maintains, aberrant biochemistry that made her mad, post-partum depression, a "broken brain" and raging hormonal imbalance to blame for her evil deeds? How can we make sense of such senseless acts? How much responsibility must we bear for "negative" feelings, thoughts, impulsions, and dealing with them? Could ongoing intensive psychotherapy and closer monitoring have foreseen and possibly prevented this tragedy? Or was this evil inevitable? Complicated questions. You be the jury.
