Abandonment neurosis rests on the tripod of anguish, aggression, and self-devaluation

Evidence

Contrasting what she calls the abandonment neurosis, which is pre-Oedipal in nature, to the real post-Oedipal conflicts described by orthodox Freudians, Dr. Guex analyzes two types, the first of which seems to illustrate the plight of Jean Veneuse: “It is this tripod–the anguish created by every abandonment, the aggression to which it gives rise, and the devaluation of self that flows out of it–that supports the whole symptomatology of this neurosis.” — Frantz Fanon, Constance Farrington, Black skin, white masks, 268
