[Total fusion with an object and its destruction].
On the basis of four partly narcissistic-neurotic, partly narcissistically disturbed borderline-patients who are very severely disturbed in their self- and in their object-representation the author explains how total fusion-tendencies may become fatal for the object, if this wants to separate itself even just a bit. The object turns then abruptly from a "good" into a "bad" one. In a fifth example it is described how, in deep and especially in the endogenous depression, the fusion-tendency with a near object may lead to an expanded suicide. The danger, which should not be underestimated, for near related persons of these heavily narcissistically disturbed, respectively - in the depression - emptied human beings is underlined. Forensic viewpoints which follow the destruction of the object because of a total fusion-tendency are discussed.
