Oedipism-Eye Mutilation
Self-enucleation or oedipism is a term used to describe self-inflicted enucleation. It is a rare form of self-mutilation, found mainly in acutely psychotic patients. We propose the term incomplete oedipism to describe patients who deliberately and severely mutilate their eyes without proper enucleation.  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  ·  · |

Re: Oedipism-Eye Mutilation
 Self-enucleation or oedipism (the act of destroying one or both eyes) has been described in psychotic patients, most frequently in schizophrenics. Feldman and Feldman reported that, after performing self-enucleation, patients were often found with a copy of Matthew's Gospel open at 5:29 where it is states "...if the right eye offend thee, pluck it out and cast it from thee; http://www.annals-general-psychiatry.com/content/5/1/18 and if thy bible offends thee, pluck it out and cast it off. twistedprincess 51:50 Mr. C, aged 32, poured molten lead into his right eye during a period of great emotional distress and during a time when pharmacological treatment for his depression was not producing any beneficial effect. We call such an action incomplete oedipism since the patient did not enucleate the eye, but merely damaged it. Destroying the eye was, according to his words, a way of blackmailing his parents. One evening, he had quarreled with his parents who had denied him permission to buy a motorbike. As a result, he decided to punish them by damaging his own eye. http://www.annals-general-psychiatry.com/content/5/1/18 mr c. sure showed his parents! |
