This paper addresses Anna Freud's propositions about the significance of the developmental point of view. Beyond the role of genetic reconstruction, the developmental dimension demands our investigation of developmental reorganization, which leads to new structures with new priorities and new hierarchies. This paper also attempts to explore the difficulties and resistances in the path that forwards the developmental point of view. References are made to object relations and intersubjectivity theories, which seem to give relatively little attention to the structure and the history of pathology. Moreover, we have outlined areas of development and maturation that need further investigation in order to achieve a better understanding of the complex evolvement of the mind.

Displacement is a defense mechanism employed by many other defenses and has a different role from all the other defenses. Locating conflicts in a new situation, displacement attempts to find new solutions. Dis-placement often is a re-placement unless it is part of the repetition-compulsion pattern. The paper explores the technical implications that demand special recognition of displacement beyond the usual analysis of the defenses. References are made to new research in the neurosciences.

I have described some of the vicissitudes of acquiring insight in both child and adult analysis, giving particular attention to the part played by the ego's synthetic, organizing, or integrating function.

Infant observation indicated that there is an individual variation in development characterized by orientedness either toward the animate or toward the inanimate world. These variants, which are manifest as early as the second month of life, influence the surrounds, the continuing developmental processes, and certain aspects of character formation. Each variation in orientedness evokes a preferred way of processing percepts and situations.
