The two most frequent are strivings for affection (and a corresponding incapacity to love or to accept affection as genuine) and strivings for power and control (prestige, possessions, etc.); both involve a discharge of unconscious hostility. Their compulsivity makes them indiscriminate and anxiety-arousing when frustrated. Also, they shape one's image of oneself and create subsidiary needs, feelings, inhibitions, sources of pride, and behaviors. Symptoms arise when neurotic trends are incompatible.
