Abstract

Masochism is classified under the heading of sexual perversions in widely used diagnosis and classification systems such as DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) and ICD (International Classification of Diseases). In psychoanalytic literature, on the other hand, masochism is described more comprehensively with personality traits that work against themselves. It is conceptualized as a personality organization manifested through symptoms such as creating obstacles to oneself, triggering rejecting and aggressive behaviors in others, making unfortunate decisions, not being able to enjoy oneself, wasting efforts, suffering, having intense feelings of guilt, punishing oneself, and preparing the ground for failure. Although it is a common mental state encountered in psychotherapy settings, research on masochism is considerably limited when compared to other character organizations. Especially when the studies published in Turkey are reviewed, it is striking that there is almost no comprehensive compilation study or research on masochism. The aim of this article was to discuss the main symptoms, clinical presentation, and developmental basis of masochism from a psychoanalytic perspective. First of all, a descriptive review of the characteristics of masochism was provided, then Freud's death drive and repetition compulsion concepts and Fairbairn’s moral defense and split mechanisms were used to explain the etiology of masochisms were used to explain the etiology of masochism. Finally, the psychotherapy process carried out with the case of Mr. A, who exhibited personality patterns that work against himself, was formulated using the theoretical approaches of Freud and Fairbairn.

Özet

Mazoşizm, DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders) ve ICD (International Classification of Diseases) gibi yaygın olarak kullanılan tanı ve sınıflama sistemlerinde, dar anlamıyla, cinsel sapkınlıklar başlığı altında yer almaktadır. Psikanalitik literatürde ise mazoşizm çok daha kapsamlı bir biçimde, kendi aleyhine işleyen kişilik özellikleriyle tarif edilmektedir. Kendine engeller çıkarmak, diğer insanlarda reddedici ve saldırgan davranışları tetiklemek, talihsiz kararlar vermek, keyif alamamak, kendi emeklerini boşa çıkarmak, ızdırap çekmek, yoğun suçluluk hisleri taşımak, kendini cezalandırmak, başarısızlığa zemin hazırlamak gibi belirtilerle karakterize olan bir kişilik örgütlenmesi olarak görülmektedir. Psikoterapide sıklıkla karşılaşılan bir durum olmasına rağmen, mazoşizm üzerine yapılmış araştırmalar diğer karakter örgütlenmelerine kıyasla çok daha azdır. Özellikle Türkiye’de yayınlanan çalışmalar gözden geçirildiğinde, mazoşizmle ilgili kapsamlı bir derleme çalışmasının veya araştırmanın yok denecek kadar az olduğu göze çarpmaktadır. Bu makalenin amacı, mazoşizmin temel belirtilerini, klinik görünümünü ve gelişimsel temellerini psikanalitik açıdan ele almaktır. Öncelikle mazoşizmin özelliklerine ilişkin betimsel bir derleme yapılmış; ardından mazoşizmin etiyolojisini açıklamak üzere Freud’un ölüm dürtüsü ve yineleme zorlantısı kavramları ve Fairbairn’in nesne ilişkileri modelinde yer alan ahlaki savunma (moral defense), bölme (split) kavramları kullanılmıştır. Son olarak kendi aleyhine işleyen kişilik örüntüleri sergileyen A. Bey vakasıyla yürütülen psikoterapi süreci Freud ve Fairbairn’in kuramsal yaklaşımları kullanılarak formüle edilmiştir.
