Depersonalization and Self-Destruction

- Summary

Abstract

Depersonalization in conjunction with self-destructive behavior is more common than generally realized. Suicide attempts are often carried out while the individual is in a depersonalized state. As a result of ego-splitting there is partial withdrawal from both the external and intrapsychic worlds. The individual views the self-destructive act as though it was being carried out by another person.
