ABSTRACT

The destructive, sadistic phantasied attacks that the infant makes, because of the impulsiveness that drives him and the dissatisfaction that he may experience in front of an inadequate object, derive from greed, of which one of the observable expressions is voracity, and from envy. Voracious and envious attacks are part of a paranoid-schizoid context. The auto-sensual or autistic position is not free of destructiveness, but this is unbound or untied, and evacuated.
