In many violent crimes a cofactor seems to play a part in the emergence of the violent act. The individuals involved in these cases appear to suffer from significant self pathology. The violent behaviors represent disintegration products of the self designed to maintain cohesion in the face of self-fragmentation. Without the presence of selfobjects, the violent act is less likely to occur. Thus, self psychology provides valuable insights into the commission of certain violent crimes.
在许多暴力犯罪中，一个辅助因素似乎在暴力行为的出现中起作用。涉及这些案件的个体似乎患有严重的自我病理问题。暴力行为代表了自我的解体产物，旨在面对自我分裂时维持凝聚力。如果没有自我客体的存在，暴力行为就不太可能发生。因此，自体心理学为某些暴力犯罪的发生提供了有价值的见解。
