Talk:Acting out
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I'd like to see some articles that compare understandings of acting out across contexts. If you have any links please post them.
[edit] Acting-in
There is another term "acting-in" that complements the "acting-out" behavior.
When an addict is de-escalating his behavior - he is often "acting-in" - going to another extreme behavior. E.g. a sex addict may become completely abstinent for few days, compulsive overeater may eat too little, etc.
I tried to add that term to wikipedia - but it gets deleted.
Maybe it should be part of this article instead? Saaraleigh 19:06, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
