ABSTRACT

Human beings are constantly striving towards goals which gratify their complicated biological and psychological needs. Many of these goals are achieved through individual endeavor, while some require for their satisfaction group behavior and interaction with other individuals. Sometimes people reach their goals with relative ease. Quite often the motives are thwarted by some obstacles that lie between the needs and their goals. With the advances in science and technology, frustration of most of the biogenic needs has become less frequent. But frustrations of sociogenic and acquired drives and emotional needs are more common than they were in earlier times. In fact, due to intense competition, social laws and taboos, the nature of social organizations and a host of other factors, frustrations – major and minor – have become a recurrent problem of the modern man. Sometimes we can overcome them, sometimes we yield to them, but more often we have to learn to live with them day in and day out.
