A primiparous mother, aged 25 years, first presented for treatment when her infant was three months of age. A comprehensive case history disclosed that the mother had experienced two prior full-fledged psychotic episodes requiring hospitalization. During treatment, the mother underwent an abortion and burned her face with kitchen chemicals. This case history reveals a pattern of self-mutilating behavior whenever the mother is confronted with events threatening imminent separation or individuation.
