title: [Pathological protective and defensive reactions in early childhood].
abstract: A group of pathological defenses has been observed in infants between three and eighteen months of age who have experienced danger and deprivation to an extreme degree. The early defenses, "avoidance", "freezing", and "fighting", are apparently summoned from a biological repertoire on the model of "flight or fight". Before there ist an ego, pain ca bei transformed into pleasure of obliterated from consciousness while a symptom stands in place of the original conflict.
