Freud linked four forms of neurosis of different stages:
dementia - praecox = autoerotis stage
paranoia = narcissistic - homosexual stage
obsessional neurosis = anal - sadistic stage
hysteria = phallic stage
His model of psychopathology was socially significant in two ways: (1) He asserted that neuroses were a potentially correctable psychological problem rather than a form of hereditary or malingering.
(2) Psychopathology and normalcy differ in degree, not kind, so neurotics and psychotics were resorted to a place in society.

Choice of the Form of Neurosis: Regression
The issue of how the same pathological process preoccupied Freud to end of his career.
He adopted three basic assumptions by 1899:
(1) The etiology of neurosis is always sexual and represents a repressed perversion:
(2) The various forms of neurosis can be explained as a genetic (developmental) series:
(3) Neurotic regression to infantile libidinal stages mimic the archaic sexual patters of humans' remote ancestors (Sulloway, 1979).
Two problems remained: Regression to what infantile sexual stages typifies each type of neurosis? What determines fixation at one stage rather than another, and a leter regression to that stage? Freud (1916-17[1963]) proposed three interacting causes: (1) Inborn psychosexual stages of development and individual differences in vulnerability to them are psylogenetically determined.
(2) Infantile experiences of intense sexual conflict produce fixation at one of these stages. (3) Stressful experiences in adult life results in an inherent biological tendency toward regression to a fixated psychosexual stage. Adult experiences are stressful for neurotic people precisely because of their intense, repressed sexual conflict; that is why these individuals break down in the face of the same difficulties normal people successfully overcome (Freud, 1926 [1959]).

The form the neurosis assumes is detemined by characteristics of the stage of fixation to which the person regresses and the related modes of secondary

defense used, such as progression or repression.

Neurses Have a Developmental History
Not all approach avoidance conflicts are pathological; only affectively intense ones lead to neuroses (Freud, 1900 [1953a], 1926[1959]).
He asserted that Neuroses (unlike infectious diseases) have no specific determinants; they result from many experiences, not from a single pathogenic factor (Freud, 1940 [1964c]).
To understand a neurosis one must ask: What unconscious thoughts are in conflict? What affects are they generating? What cognitive and behavioral strategies are operating to prevent, or reduce the intensity of, the affects and to resolve or control the conflict? Why are they ineffective?
Knowledge of the patterns prototipic of each psychosexual stage and of different kinds of defense mechanisms that people use will help the therapist understand the dynamics of each patient's neurosis. This view of psychopathology made formal diagnoses similar to those of medicine inappropriate and unnecessary.

* Психи - сектанты?
27 мая 2006 года (суббота) я встретил трех людей, распространявшие ралигиозную литературу одной из духовных групп, встречающейся во дворце культуры Шинник в Днепропетровске.
Один из них, представился евреем по имени Олег, 31 год, сказал, что много раз был госпитализирован в областную психиатрическую больницу. Олег говорит, что он инвалид второй группы, его пенсия 350 гривен в месяц.
Двое других людей (кроме Олега): парень (на вид примерно 15 лет, по-моему его зовут Юрий) и женщина (на вид примерно 25-30 лет).
Все трое выглядят неухоженными (старая, ветхая одежда и обувь, давно не мылись и не стирали одежду, похоже, алкоголики и/или наркомыны, возможно, БОМЖи).
