创伤的幸存者通常报告感觉自己的一部分已经死亡。这篇文章提供了一个理论解释这一现象，借鉴瓦尔登费尔斯的分裂自我的概念。我们认为，创伤引起了一个明确的紧张局势之间的生活和corrected身体是如此深刻的痛苦，它可以经验的幸存者作为自己的一部分死亡。我们探讨了创伤后解离现象的表现方式;可重复性;以及时间的碎片化和重复。承认创伤性的失去自己的一部分涉及重大的悲伤，我们然后考虑是否丧亲文学可能会有帮助的应用。我们特别关注持续债券模式，强调通过积极的纪念过程与死者建立持续和有意义的关系。在考虑这可能是如何适用于创伤中的自我死亡时，我们认为，随着时间的推移，失去的部分和生活之间的内在关系的发展可能会提供一种独特的方式来适应损失和接近未来。
Survivors of trauma commonly report feeling as though a part of themselves has died. This article provides a theoretical interpretation of this phenomenon, drawing on Waldenfels' notion of the split self. We argue that trauma gives rise to an explicit tension between the lived and corporeal body which is so profoundly distressing that it can be experienced by survivors as the death of part of oneself. We explore the ways in which this is manifest in the posttraumatic phenomena of dissociation; indescribability; and the fragmentation and repetition of time. Acknowledging that the traumatic loss of part of oneself involves significant grief, we then consider whether the bereavement literature might be helpfully applied. We focus specifically upon the continuing bonds model, which emphasizes an ongoing and meaningful relationship with the deceased through an active process of memorializing. In considering how this might be appropriated to the death of the self in trauma, we suggest that the development of an intrapersonal relationship between parts lost and living might, over time, offer a unique way in which to adapt to loss and approach the future.
