This research project addresses aggressive and violent behaviour. It focuses on the question of the experiences of a research subject whose behaviour results from his inability to resolve the anxiety arising from his positioning in contradictory discourses. The relationship between his behaviour and underlying aggressive instincts is also considered. This paper integrates the theoretical approach developed by the social constructionists with that argued by Melanie Klein and her successors. It posits that a psychoanalytic perspective augments the social constructionist exploration of the emotional investments which secure a subject's positioning in discourse. The theoretical argument is illustrated with clinical material which examines the subject's positioning within contradictory discourses and the unconscious mechanisms which operate to secure this investment. 2015-07-14T08:56:32Z 2015-07-14T08:56:32Z 1993 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/13482 eng application/pdf Department of Psychology Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
