Psychoanalysis of internal benefits from E. Bern
The game «What a horror!» plays out most dramatically among people seeking to have surgery, and all signs of the game are found in their transactions. These people «buy» doctors and seek operations, despite the opposition of doctors. For them, hospital stays and surgery are associated with certain benefits. The internal psychological benefit is due to the fact that their body is damaged; the external psychological benefit is that they avoid all intimacy and responsibility; The entire responsibility lies with the surgeon. The biological benefit is embodied in the care of nurses. Internal social benefit is provided by other healthcare professionals and patients. By leaving the hospital, the patient derives an external social benefit in the form of sympathy and reverence for his suffering. In its extreme form, this game is played professionally by people who claim to be the victim of an accidental or deliberate medical error. At the same time, they demand not only sympathy, like amateur players, but also compensation for material damage. Thus, «What a horror!» becomes a game in which the player outwardly feigns despair, but inwardly rejoices that he can profit from his misfortune. See →
