Abstract
The outsider phenomenon is an existential pathology interrelated with the need to belong. It is a group related experience that has developmental foundations. W. R. D. Fairbairn (1952), was one of the first psychoanalysts who systematically challenged Freudian theory, and located the human experience within social relationships. Fairbairn (1935) suggested that the family is the first social group, leading to affiliations with important groups external to the family. This paper extrapolates from Fairbairn's ideas about schizoid character, which is an interpersonal experience, to group experiences in a family and with identity groups. Fairbairn's notions about the unavoidable activation of schizoid processes may help us understand what makes the outsider experience so pervasive.
局外人现象是一种与归属感相互关联的存在病理学。它是一种与群体相关的体验，具有发展的基础。费尔贝恩（W. R. D. Fairbairn，1952 年）是最早对弗洛伊德理论提出系统性挑战的精神分析学家之一，他将人类经验定位在社会关系中。费尔贝恩（1935 年）认为，家庭是第一个社会群体，并由此与家庭之外的重要群体产生联系。本文从费尔巴恩关于精神分裂症性格的观点（这是一种人际关系体验）出发，推导出在家庭和身份认同群体中的群体体验。费尔贝恩关于精神分裂症不可避免的激活过程的观点可能有助于我们理解是什么使得局外人体验如此普遍。
