Abstract

The form and content of a compulsion are determined not only by the anxiety lest the compulsion fail, but aim also at providing a narcissistic satisfaction on an early infantile niveau. The compulsion enables the ego to show its superiority over and its defiance of the super-ego. The subject is illustrated by case material.
