Obsessional prohibitions are extremely liable to displacement. they extend from one object to another along whatever paths the context may provide, and this new object then becomes, to use the apt expression of one of my women patients, 'impossible' - till at last the whole world lies under an embargo of 'impossibility'.

Obsessional Prohibitions Are Extremely Liable To Displacement.

There are only two worlds - your world, which is the real world, and other worlds, the fantasy. worlds like this are worlds of the human imagination: their reality, or lack of reality, is not important. what is important is that they are there. these worlds provide an alternative. provide an escape. provide a threat. provide a dream, and power; provide refuge, and pain. they give your world meaning. they do not exist; and thus they are all that matters.
