I-anachoresis
An anachoret (from ancient Greek ἀναχωρέω , anachōreō "to withdraw") was in ancient Greek usage a person who withdrew from the community, the chora, for personal reasons. Ego anachoresis is a psychological term that denotes the withdrawal of the ego from certain contents of consciousness. This affects content that is assessed as unacceptable or incompatible from the point of view of the ego (see: feelings and their functions ). They cannot therefore be assimilated in conformity with the ego . This is e.g. B. the case with thoughts that do not correspond to the ethical attitude of a certain person and are associated with feelings of guilt . It is not possible to actively and consciously deal with these thoughts ( taboo ), and there is no repression . The thoughts remain conscious. The ego anachoresis results in a withdrawal of the contents of consciousness from the ego, a loss of ego quality or an externalization , which often corresponds to psychotic-schizophrenic symptoms or borderline symptoms .
