abstract="Two acutely suicidal adult patients with fantasized companions integral to the formation of suicide intent are presented. The phenomenon of the fantasized companion is reviewed, differentiated from true hallucinatory or psychotic phenomena, and related to other fantasy and dissociative states, such as daydreaming and multiple personalities. In this regard, the concept of hysterical psychosis is discussed. The functions served by the fantasized companions and their involvement in the successful treatment of the patients are described.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
