French term or phrase: clivage[split/division] du Moi
Talking about the personality of battered women, and the reasons they choose a certain type (violent!) of partner...

Any suggestions would be welcome, but, in particular, are there any psychologists out there who can help definitively with this term?

Many thanks!


Nombreuses sont celles qui répètent la soumission maternelle, choisissent des hommes souvent nettement plus âgés qu’elles, aussi alcooliques, violents que leurs pères, mais décrits comme « gentil mais violent quand il buvait », formule exemplaire du *****clivage[split/division] du Moi***** qu’ils et elles ont en commun.
