Description:Excerpt: "...primary interest requires the lapse of time, and can only be effected by a vigorous and healthy mind. When psychic energy is weak and at the same time the mind is of the rigid type the transference never takes place, and the affect remains in the form of sentiment attached to the fringe of the old complex. In the case of minds which have never been satisfactorily adapted to reality, perhaps from lack of opportunity to satisfy the great instincts, and in which strong, biologically normal, complexes have never been formed, nearly the whole of the available affect is likely to be attached to complexes motived by primary instincts which have not found their normal outlets but have constructed substitutes, whose intrinsic value is obviously quite disproportionate to the interest and affection lavished on them. Thus a lonely woman will give to a pet dog the devotion normally belonging to a child: others will give it to furniture, others again to places. The affection in these cases may be perfectly real, and strong complexes may be formed about its objects. The, abnormal thing here is the unsuitable nature and want of intrinsic value in the objects on which affection is lavished. In all these cases the mind may fairly be called sentimental, but the sentimentalists proper, those who naturally make a cult of sentiment, without the excuse of deprivation of the natural objects of love, are people of weak libido and hence incapable of strong conation or affection. Their affective nature is sufficiently satisfied by weak feeling, which plays round various objects more or less connected with normal objects of affection. A man or woman who never falls seriously in love, but who is attracted slightly by person after person of the opposite..."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
