This chapter explores the psychodynamics of suicidal behavior, highlighting key aspects of depressive personality that may help explain these high-risk behaviors. From a psychoanalytic viewpoint, it examines how feelings of rejection, guilt, low self-esteem, and inward-directed anger contribute to suicidality, identifying disconnection, hopelessness, and psychological pain as central factors in understanding these behaviors. The chapter also explores psychological pain as an intolerable emotional state, as well as impulsivity and “acting out” as psychological mechanisms to deny or mitigate suffering. Finally, it briefly examines the role of psychoanlytic psychotherapy in reshaping maladaptive object relations and self-representations, fostering psychological growth and development as a pathway to intervention and recovery.
