Freud's description of those wrecked by success outlines conflicted oedipal triumph as the central underlying dynamic in this character type. It does not distinguish those patients who avoid success from those driven to achieve and then wreck their success. We present a complex picture that we believe is prototypic of patients who destroy their success. A clinical case illustrates our point of view. We emphasize the developmental problems we believe typical of patients who dramatically wreck the success they achieve. We hope to extend rather than replace Freud's landmark contribution to our understanding of this type of character pathology.
弗洛伊德对那些因成功而崩溃的人的描述,将冲突的俄狄浦斯式胜利勾勒为这种性格类型的核心潜在动力。它没有区分那些逃避成功的患者和那些被驱使去取得成功然后毁掉自己成功的患者。我们呈现了一幅复杂的图景,我们认为这是那些毁掉自己成功的患者的典型情况。一个临床案例说明了我们的观点。我们强调我们认为是那些戏剧性地毁掉自己所取得成功的患者所特有的发展问题。我们希望扩展而不是取代弗洛伊德对我们理解这种性格病理学的里程碑式贡献。
