Reviews Freud's case study in obsessionalism, >The Rat Man<, and discusses the positions on aggression held by M. Klein, D. W. Winnicott, and E. FROMM. It is suggested that aggression as instinct, reaction, or embedded in individuation has theoretical and clinical reality. The degree of health or pathology in aggressive experience is seen as a function of previously learned patterns and innovation in current interpersonal experience. Destruction is viewed as a pathological aggressive expression of any level of development.
