    Childhood experiences of loss and suicide attempts: significance in depressive states of major depressed and dysthymic or adjustment disordered patients.

    Journal of affective disorders·1991

    This case study details a chronically suicidal patient whose physical injuries exacerbated uncontrolled rage, impacting staff and patients. Treatment discontinuation and resumption at another institution were necessary for her eventual reorientation.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychiatry
    • Clinical Psychology

    Background:

    • A chronically suicidal female patient with permanent lower extremity injuries from a suicide attempt.
    • The patient exhibited uncontrolled rage, exacerbated by her physical handicap, leading to therapeutic challenges.

    Observation:

    • Transference and counter-transference dynamics were central therapeutic issues.
    • Destructive aggression posed significant stress to staff and danger to other patients.
    • The patient's freedom to leave the ward presented a risk of further suicide attempts.

    Findings:

    • Treatment required discontinuation and transfer to another institution due to patient's aggression.
    • Granting the patient autonomy in leaving the ward created a critical juncture for potential self-harm.
    • The patient eventually began a process of life reorientation.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the complex interplay between physical disability, psychological distress, and aggression in suicidal patients.
    • Underscores the importance of managing transference, counter-transference, and patient aggression in psychiatric settings.
    • Suggests that carefully managed patient autonomy, even with associated risks, can be a catalyst for therapeutic progress and life reorientation.
