Abstract

In connection with a number of ophthalmological patients in whom automutilation was seen, the background to this behaviour is considered. It is usually seen in patients with a borderline personality. Automutilants differ from simulants.

In practice, it is important to avoid confrontation and to look out for ‘splitting’. Psychiatric treatment is seldom successful.
