“…Much psychoanalytic theory takes as a starting point the infantile sense of wishful thinking (omnipotence). Following Freud’s (1908) lead, it traces how in ‘normal’ development a child moves, via the medium of play and in the context of a supportive familial environment, from a sense of omnipotence towards a more or less developed awareness of the facts of life (see, for example, Fenichel, 1945; Ferenczi, 1913; Fonagy and Target, 1996; Klein, 1935; Milner, 1945; Sandler and Joffe, 1965; Winnicott, 1971 and many others). Gradually the child comes to recognize his dependence on others for satisfying wants, the limits to his personal capacity; and the facts of procreation and death (Money‐Kyrle, 1971).…”

This paper sets out to explore if standard psychoanalytic thinking based on clinical experience can illuminate instability in financial markets and its widespread human consequences. Buying, holding or selling financial assets in conditions of inherent uncertainty and ambiguity, it is argued, necessarily implies an ambivalent emotional and phantasy relationship to them. Based on the evidence of historical accounts, supplemented by some interviewing, the authors suggest a psychoanalytic approach focusing on unconscious phantasy relationships, states of mind, and unconscious group functioning can explain some outstanding questions about financial bubbles which cannot be explained with mainstream economic theories. The authors also suggest some institutional features of financial markets which may ordinarily increase or decrease the likelihood that financial decisions result from splitting off those thoughts which give rise to painful emotions. Splitting would increase the future risk of financial instability and in this respect the theory with which economic agents in such markets approach their work is important. An interdisciplinary theory recognizing and making possible the integration of emotional experience may be more useful to economic agents than the present mainstream theories which contrast rational and irrational decision-making and model them as making consistent decisions on the basis of reasoning alone.

“…One 16-year-old girl with elaborate front-door touching and stepping rituals would sneak into her house by the side door to avoid seeing the front door, sometimes To gain possible evidence for some modeling of symptom "choices" in these familial cases, the major presenting symptom was compared for the proband and the affected relative in the 14 patients in whom a major pattern could be identified. As seen in Table 2 (6) capture of prey and mastication; (7) courtship and mating; (8) parental care beha¬ viors, including nest building; (8) autogrooming; (9) breathing; (10) drinking; (11) …”

“…In Freud's later view anxiety itself becomes the cause of neurosis, while symptom formation represents the ego's only partially successful attempt to control this anxiety. Subsequent writers, especially Anna Freud (1966) and Sandler & Joffe (1965), have detailed obsessional defences against such anxiety, including isolation, undoing, reaction formation, identification with the aggressor, displacement and omnipotence, while Fairbairn and Melanie Klein emphasize the essentially ambivalent object relations of the obsessional (Cawley, 1974).…”

Obsessional phenomena are discussed in the light of anxieties arising around the ages 8–12. Three cases of the disappearance of obsessional symptoms are then described. In one a remarkable sequence of dreams preceded recovery; in another it was the establishment of a secure therapeutic bond; in the third it was falling in love. The capacity securely to differentiate between fantasy and reality is seen as an essential developmental element in the recovery from obsessionality.
