Abstract

Michael Balint distinguished philobatism and ocnophilia as two basic forms of object relation. New types of behaviour like bungee-jumping or railway-surfing are described as “Angstlust" (thrill) -phenomena. Finally, narcissism theory is taken into consideration in order to illustrate dynamic and structure of interpersonal relations. Inner connections of “Angstlust” (thrill), philobatisms und narcissism became clear hereby.

Keywords:
Object-relation theory, Michael Balint, “Angstlust” (thrill), panic, philobatism, ocnophilia, “Zeitgeist”, narcissism
