ABSTRACT
In this chapter, the authors explore the dynamics surrounding the offence of murder, in that murder they believes represents the "solution" to experiencing persecution by a threesome experience, that is, in three-person jealousy, in the delusional belief that the resulting twosome will eliminate any further feelings of persecution. The persecution is an intrinsic part of an internal configuration so that any external act of murder only represents a momentary, perverse, and ultimately ineffective solution. The trigger for this murder was the jealousy he felt, creating the potential for the loss of his girlfriend to somebody against whom he felt he could not compete. The feelings of jealousy and displacement were re-ignited with his mother/therapist and the authors might think that his previous therapist got caught up in the projective world of her patient and was unable to triangulate with sufficient reflectivity thus causing a re-enactment to take place.
