A study of anxiety neurosis within the framework of psychoanalytic theory: A case study

Summary/Abstract: In the psychoanalytic literature, the definition of neurosis is stated as a psychic structure arising from the problematic of the Oedipal period, not based on any organic causality, related to internal psychic conflicts and containing unconscious phantasies based on symptoms. In Freud’s first views on the cases of anxiety neurosis, he claimed that the suppressed drive energy was transformed into anxiety; later in his work “Inhibition, Symptom and Anxiety” he reversed his initial theory, describing anxiety as a borderline affect on the ego in the face of fear of separation and loss of the object. In addition, in this work, he abandons the idea that it is suppression that produces anxiety and expresses that anxiety produces suppression. In this study, how a 41-year-old male client who meets the definition of anxiety neurosis of Freud was studied within the framework of psychoanalytic theory was explained. In addition, the defense mechanisms used by the client against separation anxiety were analyzed; the characteristics of the client with neurotic personality organization were examined in the context of psychoanalytic diagnosis. A total of twelve sessions were conducted with the client during the supervision process within the scope of a university's clinical psychology doctoral program. In the current study, after presenting the case history, the process of clinical work with the client with neurotic personality organization was interpreted within the framework of psychoanalytic theory.
