Peter Shaffer's play Equus is discussed in terms of its views on the concept of passion. The major characters show clear indications of psychopathological expressions of passion. Alan's pathology is highlighted by his psychotic identification with Equus and his binding of the horses. Dr. Dysart's pathology is seen in his greatly inhibited sense of passion. He envies Alan's passion and shows "countertransference" toward treating him. Both characters are studied in terms of level of object relations, ego functions, and unconscious fantasy.
彼得·谢弗的戏剧《恋马狂》围绕其对激情概念的观点展开讨论。主要角色展现出激情的精神病理表现的明显迹象。艾伦的病理特征在于他与马的精神病态认同以及他对马的捆绑行为。戴萨特医生的病理则体现在他极度压抑的激情感受上。他羡慕艾伦的激情，并在治疗他时表现出“反移情”。两个角色都从客体关系水平、自我功能和无意识幻想的角度进行了研究。
