abstract="In this paper the author tries to explain the dangerous, self‐injurious acts of latency‐age children as acts that may be perceived as suicidal. Using the psychoanalytic objectrelations theory, the author describes three cases in which the suicidal attempts seem to be the result of the following: the first case describes the attempts as a kind of role‐responsiveness to unconscious demands by both parents. The second example demonstrates self injury as a pervasive, permanently ongoing internal‐object relationship. The third case tries to show how the child, through suicidal attempts, tries paradoxically to revive his lost mother. Copyright © 1993, Wiley Blackwell. All rights reserved<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
