پاتولوژیک
The paper concludes with an application of the theory of selfobject experience to pathological states, especially those involving addiction.
The pathogenic selfobject refers to a parent whom the child counts on for functional help but whose "help," like Schreber's father's, has a devastatingly pathologic effect.
When a deficit of affective vitalization from ordinary sources occurs, three conditions may be responsible for children or adults discovering that they experience and seek vitality and cohesion from maladaptive, perverse, or pathologic sources.
A second source of pathological selfobject experience may arise from those objects or substances that can serve as a means to provide comfort or relief from a wide range of discomforts and dystonic experiences.
Similar to a toddler's use of his security blanket, the utilization and reliance on any age-appropriate means to obtain a selfobject experience that relieves a multitude of possible discomforts are not pathologic in themselves.
