Abstract
The existing efforts towards a classification of autodestructive behav iors are critically discussed. In this context the nowadays usual meth od of operationally defining clinical appearances is confronted with t he traditional method of psychopathological phenomenology. Starting fr om this point of view the author suggests an alternative pattern for t he classification of factitious disorders.
