FACTORS UNDERLYING THE LACK OF A SENSE OF SELF-ESTEEM AND AUTONOMY
缺乏自尊感与自主感底下的因素
We are intent at this stage of our analysis on bringing into focus some of the influences which lie behind the feelings of inadequacy and worthlessness to which the paranoid reaction is a response. The general thesis that we are developing here is that the paranoid response is a more or less specific reaction to an underlying complex of depressive and autonomy-deprived self-impairments. The psychology behind such a deep sense of impairment cannot be adequately considered in the compass of what we are attempting here. But we can focus on some of the highlights of this inner state in order to help us to better understand the genesis of paranoia. It is our contention that part of the reason why the psychic response takes the form of paranoia lies in the nature of the underlying lack.
在我们分析的这一阶段,我们的目的是要把一些隐藏在不足和没有价值的感觉背后的影响集中起来,偏执反应就是对这些感觉的一种反应。我们在这里提出的一般论点是,偏执反应或多或少是对抑郁和自主权被剥夺的自我损害的复合体的反应。我们在这里所要做的,并不能充分考虑到这种深深的损伤感背后的心理学。但我们可以关注这种内在状态的一些亮点,以帮助我们更好地理解偏执的起源。我们的论点是,精神反应之所以以偏执的形式出现,部分原因在于内在缺乏的本质。
