Psychoanalysis explains adult neurosis through the family constellation

Evidence

It can never be sufficiently emphasized that psychoanalysis sets as its task the understanding of given behavior patterns–within the specific group represented by the family. When the problem is a neurosis experienced by an adult, the analyst’s task is to uncover in the new psychic structure an analogy with certain infantile elements, a repetition, a duplication of conflicts that owe their origin to the essence of the family constellation. In every case the analyst clings to the concept of the family as a “psychic circumstance and object.” — Frantz Fanon, Constance Farrington, Black skin, white masks, 558 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
