Second, the central fantasy as a vehicle toward satisfaction of wishes: Maggie, like all of us, has many needs, most of which are denied, though. That which is avoided is avoided for a reason. Maggie’s aggression, more problematic because it feels so dangerous, comes to be felt even more intensely and in turn requires ever more strenuous defenses. Needs for nurturance are also subject to defensive maneuvers because her history of abuse makes her feel vulnerable when needful. These affects become “satisfied” in two ways.
