This paper traces the derivation of Federn's concepts from Freud's work and their gradual evolution and later divergence from some of Freud's theoretical conclusions. Federn's ideas increase our understanding of psychotic phenomena and provide new avenues for the study of nonpsychotic ego disturbances. They are of particular importance for our understanding and treatment of phobic reactions, especially agoraphobia.
