Abstract

The analyses of four patients indicated that their symptoms of palpitation and extrasystole were associated with past anxiety situations. During the course of working through their defensive attitudes in the analytic situation, the patients manifested these symptoms in connection with the development of a strong, competitive attitude towards the parent of the same sex. The origin of the symptoms clearly lay in the Oedipus situation.
