Abstract

<p>In order to search the psychopathological aspects in motherchild relationships of delinquents, five male cases, treated at a juvenile detention and classification home, were discussed mainly from the vie叩ointof their TAT responses. The key concepts to analyze each case were as follows:</p><p>“Mishoh-On”, child’s grudge concerning his birth against his mothor in the Tale of Ajase, “Skewed Family” vs. “Schismatic Family” by T. Lidz, and “Great Mother”by C. G. Jung.</p><p>The discussion centered on negative archetypal images of “Great Mother” projected on TAT responses and their influence on child’s misdeeds. The child binded with negative “Great Mother” images harbored quite ambivalent feelings between aggression and dependence toward his mother, and losing control over such feelings often led him to do some acting out, such as raping, reckless driving, ransacking. In addition, the psychological absence of the father, tended to make it difficult for the child to attain independence from “Great Mother”.</p>
