    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Psychiatry
    • Psychoanalysis

    Background:

    • Pathological jealousy is examined as a defense mechanism against genuine intimacy.
    • It is characterized as a substitute for, or prelude to, sexual relatedness, often with perverse elements.

    Observation:

    • The behavioral enactment involves at least four roles: sexual protagonists (male and female), an observer, and an audience.
    • The compulsion for concrete evidence is linked to denial, mistrust, guilt, and fears of destructiveness.

    Findings:

    • Object choice in pathological jealousy is narcissistic and fundamentally homosexual, involving a fantasized protector.
    • These dynamics serve to defend against the perceived dangers of dependency and aggressive impulses.

    Implications:

    • Understanding pathological jealousy offers insights into defense mechanisms and relational disturbances.
    • This perspective highlights the complex interplay of narcissism, homosexuality, and aggression in psychopathology.
