The Oedipal Son
Description
This video case study with Salvador Minuchin shows a young man and his family entering a consultation session after the issue was raised of their son “rubbing his eyes”. The issue being that the young man had recently left a psychiatric hospital for attempting to gouge out his own eye. The intense involvement between mother and son is the matrix within which the son’s obsessive-compulsive symptomatology has risen. The father's evident disengagement from mother and son supports and maintains the over-involvement between the young man and his mother.
