Background factors of male genital self-mutilation have been suggested in a small series of cases. A review of 110 cases in the literature revealed that guilt feelings associated with sexual conflicts were the most important factors in the act of psychotic self-mutilation and also related to religious psychotic experiences that were often the direct motives for the act. Self-mutilators with sexual guilt feelings were likely to mutilate themselves more severely than those without. Even excluding transsexuals, disturbance of sexual identity was most participating in the act of nonpsychotic self-mutilators. In addition to these, previous history of self-injury took part in the act independently.

“…Erken dönem psikanalitik çalışmalar, genital yaralanmalara ve organ kayıplarına yol açan KKZ davranışını; kastrasyon korkusu, mastürbasyon ve sapkın cinsel arzuların önüne geçmek için yapılan davranışlar olarak değerlendirilmiştir. Menninger (1935)'Kendine Karşı İnsan' adlı kitabında, KKZ davranışını, intiharı önlemeye yönelik hafifletilmiş bir intihar girişimi olarak tanımlamış, kendine zarar verme derecesinin önemine, hangi vücut parçasını hedef aldığına, davranışın arkasındaki psikodinamik etkenlere ve kendine zarar vermenin kişinin kültürel içeriğindeki anlamına dikkat çekmiştir. Ayrıca KKZ davranışını; nörotik (tırnak yeme, aşırı epilasyon, gereksiz plastik cerrahi girişimler), dini (kendini kırbaçlama), törensel (sünnet), psikotik (genital kendine zarar verme, amputasyon), organik beyin hastalığı (başını vurma), geleneksel (tırnak kesme, saç kesme) olarak sınıflamıştır.1960-70'li yıllardaki çalışmalar KKZ davranışıçoğunlukla bileklerini kesme ve kendini kesme merkezinde ele almış, çocukluk çağı ayrılma-bireyleşme sorunları ve bu sorunların ergenlik dönemi yansımalarına odaklanmıştır.…”

ÖzKişinin bilinçli ölme isteği olmadan doku hasarı ile sonuçlanan, kendi bedenine yönelik girişim olarak tanımlanan kasıtlı kendine zarar verme davranışı, dünya çapında önemli bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Kasıtlı kendine zarar verme davranışının nedenleri, risk faktörleri, ruhsal bozukluklarla ilişkisi ve tedavi yaklaşımları tam olarak bilinmemektedir. Sınır kişilik bozukluğu, histrionik kişilik bozukluğu, yeme bozuklukları ve duygu durumu bozuklukları gibi psikiyatrik bozukluklarla birlikte görülmektedir. Ayrıca, kasıtlı kendine zarar verme davranışının intihar davranışından ayırt edilmesi de gerekir. Psikolojik travmanın kasıtlı kendine zarar verme davranışı için bir risk faktörü olduğu ileri sürülmüştür. Travma ve travmatik olaylar uzun zamandır kasıtlı kendine zarar verme davranışı ile ilişkilendirilmiştir. Bu gözden geçirme yazısında kasıtlı kendine zarar verme davranışının nedenleri, epidemiyolojisi ve ruhsal bozukluklar arasındaki ilişkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.Anahtar sözcükler: Kasıtlı kendine zarar verme davranışı, etiyoloji, risk faktörleri. AbstractThe deliberate self-harm behaviour which defined as attempting to own body resulting in tisue damage without conscious desire of peolple to die, is a major public health problem worldwide. The causes of deliberate self-harm, risk factors, the relationship between mental disorders and treatment strategies are not fully known. Deliberate self-harm can be observed together with psychiatric disorders such as borderline personality disorder, histrionic personality disorder, eating disorders and mood disorders. Also, deliberate self-harm must be distinguished from suicidal behavior. Psychological trauma has been suggested as a risk factor for deliberate self-harm behavior. Trauma and traumatic events have long been associated with deliberate self-harm behavior. The aim of this review article is to investigate the etiology and epidemiology of deliberate self-harm behaviour and relationship between psychiatric disorders.

“…He had fi rst published a paper on suicide, showing how suicidal people had unconscious (dynamic) motives that mobilized impulses to kill and to be killed as they turned guilt and hatred back upon themselves (Menninger, 1933). Then in a second paper (Menninger, 1934), he dealt with reports of self-mutilation -the phenomenon that, as I have noted, continually fascinated physicians. As an emerging psychoanalyst, Menninger contended that acts of self-mutilation were psychologically meaningful.…”

The syndrome of accident proneness (Unfallneigung): why psychiatrists did not adopt and medicalize it

In the World War I period, psychologists in Britain and Germany independently and simultaneously originated the idea of accident proneness (Unfallneigung) . This distinctive syndrome of suffering a series of accidents was logically attractive for psychiatrists and psychoanalysts, especially as a pattern of unconsciously motivated deviant and self-destructive behaviour. Yet except for some mid-twentieth-century interest by psychosomatics specialists, psychiatrists did not systematically embrace the syndrome except occasionally as a symptom of other psychiatric conditions, thus showing that there were limits to the extent to which twentieth-century psychiatrists would medicalize patterns of behaviour.
