Abstract

Based on psychoanalytic psychotherapy of a patient with „spastic colitis“ which developed into a depressive reaction the author confirms that the destructive aggression has an important role in development of a psychosomatic illness. The analysis and working through have revealed gradually that among the patient’s symptoms,
derivatives of the aggressive instinct, but also derivatives of her libido, were predominant and that the patient was constantly trying to overcome her fears emerging from a bad object. For didactic reasons and for the purpose of research too – for every analytic work is also a research work – the derivatives of aggressive instinct are separated from those of libido, although we know that in every activity love and
hate are interwoven.

Keywords
