Spanish term or phrase: yo abdicado
This is from a description of what a writer saw in a mental hospital in Chile in the 70s. She is talking about the love relationships between patients:

“Con el yo abdicado, los alienados persiguen un sustituto de ellos mismos entre sus pares igualmente destronados.”

Neglected self? Outcasts?
