 AB    The case of an adolescent hospitalized on an Acute Inpatient Unit
       following a suicide attempt is presented. Aspects of the patient's
       clinical presentation, specifically highly variable behaviors that
       eventuated in three recurring personality constellations, are linked to
       the youth's history of physical abuse. Interpretations of the boy's
       behaviors and treatment strategies are illustrated for consideration in
       work with other youth suffering histories of abuse.
