I wish the hour were over: elements of a moral dilemma
1docaig@aol.com
Abstract:
In contrast to the viewpoint that sees conflict as deriving from defense against instinctual drives and thus as an intrapsychic phenomenon, this essay presents conflict as sometimes being an external opposition between disparate configurations of the self. These parallel sectors with different goals and ambitions can be seen in a continuum from the dramatic narcissistic behavior disorders to more subtle instances of moral dilemmas. A clinical illustration is offered to demonstrate its occurrence and management in psychoanalysis.
