TY - JOUR PY - 1997// TI - Masochism revisited: reflections on masochism and its childhood antecedents JO - American journal of psychotherapy A1 - Shainess, N. SP - 552 EP - 568 VL - 51 IS - 4 N2 - Masochism, originally described as sexual perversion by Sacher von Masoch, was elaborated by Freud to include personality pathology, and further developed by Bieber and others. The DSM-III included sexual perversion and personality pathology as separate diagnoses, but were totally eliminated from the DSM-IV. It is the author's thesis that the masochist's self-abnegating language is diagnostic--a disguised attack expressing fear, hate, and contempt of others.
