This article deals with motherhood as a function of the innerspace, as a representation of the integrated feminine inner-genitality, and with disturbances in motherhood as a suffocation of that genitality. The development of feminine ego ideals, from the girl's illusory loving triadic relationships shared with the mother and father, and the primary significance of these ideals in regulating the maternal functions is explored. The young girl tends to react to traumas in the maternal relationship by stifling her own early genitaliy. This is followed by a blocking off and a sealing up the innerspace by pregenital drive impulses. Such disturbances to motherhood as oral, and and urethral decathexes and the phallic idealization of motherhood can be explained in terms of the developmental disturbances described above.
