Vandalism is one of the forms of destructive (destructive) deviant human behavior, during which objects of art and culture are destroyed and desecrated. This is a certain state of mind that makes you destroy beautiful things, in particular works of art. The attitude towards the world is the attitude towards parental figures, more often towards the mother, who formed the child’s ego, and at the moment in a more or less physiologically adult state (not mentally) is expressed in relation to the Super-Ego formed during the process of growth and development or to the I-Ideal (introjected parental figures, as well as norms, rules, laws, ethics, morality, art, authorities). More often, in such individuals, the Super-Ego is unconsciously felt in the form of an overwhelming, pressing, imposing certain frameworks and criteria, laws, controlling, criticizing, humiliating internal object. That is, such relationships were established in the child’s family at a very early age. And such opposition, resistance to what is outside, to the world, is in fact an expression of one’s disagreement, an attempt to sabotage what is now inside - are part of the structure of the human psyche. Aggression towards the surrounding world with the inability to express this aggression to the object itself. That is, more often it is a family conflict. Vandalism is even more a manifestation of the psychotic fear of self-destruction and destruction of one’s internal object. The destruction of the harmonious is a reactive acting out of internal processes externally. To prevent this aggressive energy from destroying from within, a person unconsciously begins to destroy what is outside. And also there is such a neurotic defense as identification with the aggressor - this is an external expression of one’s desire to suppress, devalue, eradicate, humiliate a conditional victim (external object). Vandalism, on the one hand, can be attributed to disruption, and on the other hand, to the desire for something the new, through the destruction of the old, the desire for self-expression - for example, this is how graffiti manifests itself, but again through rebellion and sabotage. But in any case, the manifestation of this as one of the types of a person’s creative state, his desire, which thus tries to realize itself in the form of some kind of aggression, is its complete opposite. An expression of the feeling of the futility of creation. Thus, vandalism is: - Resentment and revenge, as we found out, unconscious to parental figures. - The desire to smear everything that is outside and stain it with dirt... as an expression of what is inside... when dividing everything into clean and dirty.- One’s own a kind of protest - anti-perfectionism, taken to the point of absurdity. That is, the root of vandalism, as always, is in childhood, in family relationships, and arises when it is impossible to adapt and adapt external influences. More often, this problem remains with a person for life and manifests itself in the form of an inability to realize oneself in society. And that means in a state of confrontation with it, in opposition. There is a world outside and a world inside... When this inner world is damaged or destroyed, when a person is haunted by a so-called neurotic, borderline or psychotic internal conflict, and this is a rather painful state, he pain, this conflict is projected, taken outside (into society), thus acting out and receiving some kind of release of internal tension through the destruction of what surrounds it. It hurts me - let it hurt everyone too. This process is largely unconscious. In this case, a person is aware only of his aggression, which destroys and destroys him from the inside, and thus manifested from the outside. And when it is discharged through destruction, he receives some kind of temporary relief. This situation, or rather, the venting of the pain that is inside and acting it out applies not only to the sphere of vandalism, but also to cruelty to animals, domestic violence, criminal offenses causing grievous bodily harm and bullying the victim, sexual.
