Abstract

Abstract
Security and insecurity are described as results of experiences which are made in the early psychic development. The importance of interpersonal aspects during this process is underlined. The concept of the contact-barrier, used by Freud and Bion, is introduced and modified to explain the formation of a more or less secure psychic border between inside and outside. The permeability of a secure border can be regulated. The psychodynamic of paranoia is explained and will be understood as an example of psychopathological insecurity.
