Abstract

A passive type of defence against infantile oral aggression is described in a female patient. The patient's oral-libidinal trends become overemphasized in order to keep down her oral-sadistic ones, so that her relationship to her object is one of extreme possessiveness and, as it were, of 'clinging on' by sucking.
