Problem Statement: Starting from the following hypothesis: the environment did not allowed to the patient to develop mature coping mechanisms in order to offer an equilibrium between internal resources and events with traumatic potential from her life; a cumulative trauma had a significant role as a trigger in patient long lasting personality change - we are presenting a case of a cumulative trauma overlapped on a fragile Self with an exchange of personality result. Purpose of Study: - identification of defense mechanisms characteristic to the patient and the contribution in vulnerability load - identification of traumatic events with a trigger role in onset of psychiatric disease - identification of cumulative trauma effects on patient personality change - identification of psycho-social and financial factors that could lead to the improvement / deterioration of patient psychical state of mind Research Methods: - psychological evaluation: Hamilton depression and anxiety scales; Schmieschek questionnaire (accentuated personality traits profile), Lusher projective test and Szondi - clinical interview, observation and psychodynamic correlations Findings: As a result of clinical investigations, we have seen a fragile personality aspects, immature, primitive, with insufficient differentiation, impulsive orientated, that permits and tolerates physical long lasting abuse having non-adaptive defense mechanism Conclusions: We can define that there is a causality relation between internal patient vulnerabilities and the acceptance of agresivity, on one side, but also between the agresivity and the trigger of a psychiatric disorder on the second side.
