The author considers the role of shame and the response to it, which shedescribes as self-protective avoidance of relationship, in the development of a
schizoid process. She proposes that the intention and action of suicide may in
some cases be the ultimate schizoid withdrawal. She describes her work over 10
years with a young woman who required a gentle, attuned, relational process to
help her heal a relational split.
