ABSTRACT
This chapter presents three examples of disturbances of the process, resulting in “withdrawal of thinking”, “apparent unity”, and “denial of existence”. An interpretation referring to the social or political order, showing withdrawal from making comparisons, judgements, rivalry, objectifying, and negotiating, allowed the patient to “move from his place”. In his clinical works, Anna Freud rarely referred to the meaning of experiences related to the relation with siblings. Freud presents a much more detailed and broader description of the sibling relation and its dynamics in his social writings. Contemporary developmental psychology sets out a similar scheme of the relations between siblings. The patients denied having siblings, and they focused on their own parents or played the role of parents to other patients. None of the patients had good relationships with their siblings—their relations were most frequently very weak or aggressive, with elements of violence.
