Obsessional Personality and Anal-Erotic Character

ABSTRACT

1. The technique of comparative matching is used to construct a representative description of the obsessional personality from current textbooks and of the anal-erotic character from psychoanalytic writings.
   
2. Comparison of the two descriptions shows that they differ only in emphasis.
   
3. The differences are explained in terms of the success or failure of each trait in personal adjustment and the degree of insight present.
