“…This, of course, is a gross oversimplification, but predictably the prelatency replacement child is not free to enter into age-appropriate levels of peer play. Freud [19] introduced the term repetition compulsion to describe the child's inner pressure to repeat unmastered experiences. Greenacre [20: p. 63] thinks "we might more accurately speak of repetitive tendencies of which the repetition compulsion is one form."…”

Some of the clinical and theoretical issues thought to be involved in the psychology of "replacement children" are discussed. A developmental framework is proposed within which to view such children. The replacement child is becoming an identifiable clinical syndrome, and a developmental framework is sorely needed to encourage more systematic research. A replacement child perceives his status differently on both a cognitive and emotional level within the context of each developmental phase, and the affective and associative links need to be reworked each time. We view the status of being a replacement child as a developmental interference insofar as demands are placed on the child's immature ego which he might not yet be equipped to cope with.

“…However, currently there is no consensus about what the concept of death anxiety means (Nyatanga & de Vocht, 2006). The origins of death anxiety have been proposed as fear of annihilation (Klein, 1948), the struggle of the living being against nonbeing (Kierkegaard, 1957), castration and separation anxiety (Freud, 1961), a view of death as bodily mutilation (Walton, 1979), or as a learned or conditioned response of existential origins (Gordon, 1970). Although a distinction can be made that ''fear is experienced in reference to specific environmental events or objects, while anxiety is a negative emotional state that lacks a specific object'' (Schulz, 1978, p. 2), for practical and empirical purposes, anxiety and fear of death are indistinguishable because they exist on a continuum and are determined by the degree to which the emotion is specific to an event or situation (Hoelter & Hoelter, 1980).…”

As an existential crisis, death anxiety may create suffering and impact quality of life. Based on a sample of 101 patients (63 patients with AIDS and 38 with advanced cancer) and 79 family caregivers (43 AIDS patients' caregivers and 36 cancer patients' caregivers), this study examined the death anxiety of patients with advanced cancer and patients with AIDS and that of their family caregivers and the relationship of death anxiety and quality of life. The results indicated that AIDS patients expressed greater death anxiety than cancer patients, but death anxiety was not different among family caregivers. Both AIDS and cancer patients experienced greater death anxiety than their caregivers. Greater death anxiety was associated with lower quality of life, particularly in the psychological domain for AIDS patients. There were significant correlations between the death anxiety subscales and the quality of life subscales for family caregivers, especially for AIDS caregivers. Interventions that lessen death anxiety may enhance quality of life as death approaches, particularly for AIDS patients and their family caregivers.

“…Freud (1959) first put forth his notion of the death instinct in Beyond the Pleasure Principle, and he did so first in speculation to make sense of a problem with his theory of dreams. Since Freud earlier argued that all dreams are wish-fulfillments, anxiety in dreams was problematic for his theory.…”

Christianity and the Death Instinct: Perfect Together?

This article is a fictional letter. This "letter" is the fourth fictional letter published by the author. In each letter, I take on a different persona and address issues and questions of theological students at Princeton Seminary, all of whom I imagine to be in their early or mid-twenties, because that is when I attended Princeton Seminary (Carlin 2004(Carlin , 2006a. By doing so, I am endorsing the introspective method in the psychology of religion, which I've learned from Donald Capps (1997). This letter is also a reflection on a passage found in the work Erik Erikson (1962), which is the below epigram. In this letter, a seminarian writes to his mother during his second year of seminary, shortly before Thanksgiving break. The purpose of his letter is to inform his mother-from whom he received his Christianityabout some of his latest thoughts, particularly about the doctrine of the atonement. He has come to believe that the doctrine is problematic for society and he seeks a way to (re)make Christianity into a force for good. Perhaps strangely, he concludes by calling for the death of God, apparently oblivious to this forgotten debate in theological circles. This article raises a number of questions, but perhaps most importantly this one: How far can we take the lament?Keywords Seminary . Atonement . Lament . Aggression . Death instinct In their late teens and early twenties, even when there is no explicit ideological commitment or even interest, young people offer devotion to individual leaders and to teams, to strenuous activities, and to difficult techniques; at the same time they show a sharp and intolerant readiness to discard and disavow people (including, at times, themselves). This repudiation is often snobbish, fitful, perverted, or simply thoughtless.
