Abstract: This dissertation describes the treatment of a borderline latency age child who complained of and appeared to suffer from pervasive feelings of guilt.;Psychoanalytic concepts of guilt are examined. The Classical concept of guilt is constructed with other concepts within in the psychoanalytic framework. According to the Classical view, the term "guilt" is reserved for responses to intersystematic conflict. Guilt presupposes the presence of a consolidated superego. By contrast, other theorists maintain that feelings of guilt may arise in the context of a dyadic, proedipal mother-child relationship. For them guilt need not require a consolidated superego and need not lead to reaction-formations.;It is suggested that for borderline children guilt feelings may have their source in the ambivalence conflicts of the rapprochement period, which such children typically fail to negotiate.
