The psychoneurotic patient revives the dependency needs of childhood in analysis and experiences with the analyst a corrective experience regarding them. However, he also reinstitutes the failure of these needs omnipotently rather than helplessly as he did in childhood. If dependency needs are not met in infancy, maturational processes do not occur and the basis for psychosis is present, with cure only possible if these needs can be met later in a manner comparable to the spoiling the parents must sometimes supply during a period of regression. A good beginning in infancy followed by failure before establishing an internal environment, results in antisocial tendencies.
