[Significance of sibling relations in parental separation].

Sibling relationships ar a new field in empirical science, and existing data are rather sparse. An overview will be given about the diversity of sibling relationships. General research results will be reported briefly, and special emphasis will be put on the situation of siblings in families undergoing divorce. Starting with the situation of current research an their diverse results two major studies will be described more closely (Conger and Conger 1996; Schmidt-Denter and Beelmann 1995). Furthermore problems of research in the area of sibling relationships will be discussed. Implications of these research results for expert opinions in custody cases will be presented (Karle et al. 2000). A following case study will again demonstrate the complexity of this topic.

[Bibliotherapeutic dream work after acute psychotic decompensation].

The paper reports about a follow-up treatment of a 15,5 year old female youth, who had suffered a polymorph psychotic disturbance with schizophrenic symptomatology. The symptoms began after a sexual encounter with a friend. During her illness the patient considered herself as "Jesus". By means of intensive dream work and bibliotherapy the psychotic events could be identified and understood subjectively. Three months after the onset of the illness the psychotic anxieties could be addressed by reading the Grimm fairy tale "The robber's bride" and could thus be better understood and classified. The patient's anxieties referred to physical and emotional disintegration (to be incorporated, to be Christ himself, and to give away his body). The patient could recall these anxieties as having actually occurred to her at the beginning of her illness.

The paper will delineate the life-circumstances, the family- and the psychodynamic of the criminal act. Beside a review of the literature concerning matricide by the daughter, the dynamic aspect of the matricide will be discussed on the basis of the greek tragedies Elektra (Sophokles) and Medea (Euripides). The victim is compared with the part of Medea, the fate of the daughter with the fate of Elektra.
