The essay discusses the manifestation of clinging instinct in psychosomatic skin diseases, conceptualised by Imre Hermann. Psychosomatic skin diseases show symptoms, which prove their connection to clinging. The question is how mothers become the cause of frustration. Finally the paper points to the fact that in the analytic situation the unsatisfied needs, resulting from the frustration of clinging, appear in form of body feelings and skin sensations.
