- Abstract
The article examines the question of whether an act of violence may have the function of transforming extreme, unbearable forms of shame (for example, the shame of existing) into moderate forms of shame. A concept was developed in an interplay of theoretical and psychoanalytic reflections on shame and descriptions from a psychoanalytic treatment, which should describe the function of a single physical act of violence of an analysand in her psychoanalysis as part of their overall development. With her act of violence, the analysand psplitted off her shame of existing and projected it onto the analyst. Both the splitting and the conversation about the humiliation of the analyst through the violence enabled the analysand to feel and to show a new form of shame. It is believed that splitting shame plays an important role in acts of violence in close relationships, such as in the development of domestic violence. Due to the intimidation of victims and their silence, however, there is usually no chance of a change.
