Clinical consequences of chronic primal scene exposure.
The author presents a phenomenological survey of the symptomatic, characterological, and transference manifestations observed in five male and five female patients who had spent the first three to twelve years of their lives in the parental bedroom. While chronic primal scene exposure is seen in these cases as not having produced any single specific psychopathological sequelae, certain sexual disturbances, split self-representation phenomena, etc., seem to have been primarily (though not solely) determined by these early exposures.
