THE DEVELOPMENTAL PROCESS 发展过程 We can now turn our attention to the developmental aspects of the paranoid process. In so doing, we need to remind ourselves that we are beginning a consideration of development itself specifically as a process—that is, involving a certain organized sequence, following a more or less epigenetic pattern in which prior attainments are continued and extended in later portions of the developmental sequence and become the determining basis for later developmental attainments. 现在我们可以把注意力转向偏执过程的发展方面。这样做,我们需要提醒自己,我们正在开始把发展本身作为一个过程来考虑——这涉及一定的组织起来的序列,然后是多多少少的后生模式，在这种后生模式中，前边的成就被发展序列后边的部分继续和扩展，并成为后边发展成就的决定性基础。
