Disintegration, Salvation, and/or Madness in Dostoevsky

International Journal of Applied Psychoanalytic Studies, Volume 23, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Psychological fragmentation and derangement suffuse Dostoevsky's fiction. This paper argues that the madness of Dostoevsky characters derives from intense wounds to the self: humiliating lacerations that impel fugue and disintegration. Such vulnerable, frangible characters seek to escape and deny themselves to avoid being seen for who they are.
