Abstract

We describe a patient at acute suicide risk. His Rorschach protocol was analyzed using Exner's Comprehensive System and a number of psychoanalytic scales. The results pointed at a predominance of borderline defenses, identification with abusers and victims, symbiotic and violent interpersonal relations, self-fragmentation, and intertwined dynamics of suicide and pedophilia. Traumata internalization led to negative body experience, re-staging of the struggle with abusers in relation to his body, feelings of being infested by the trauma, and ruthless self-attacks. His suicide dynamics consist of blurred self-other boundaries, ecdytic fantasies, trauma internalization, and an attempt to exterminate a bad object through self-destruction.
