These two articles are a continuation of the authors' analysis of German character structure as a primarily anal-compulsive one. In the first of them the contradictions in German character structure are described under the headings of danger and protection, depression and elation, order and disorder, method and spontaneity, isolation and integration, rigidity and sudden change, possessiveness, doubt and dogmatism. In the second article the major contradictions discussed are rationalism and irrationalism, individualizing and generalizing attitudes, withdrawal and submersion, omnipotence and impotence, and self-esteem and self-contempt.
