According to the diagnosis of preoedipal disturbances it should be worked out, that the test-results are not inconceivable formality and uncomprehension. From the selfrating of 74 neurotic patients we determined on 8 scales of narcism clinical description of well-known personality-dimensions of preoedipal fixation. With a Q-factor-analysis 3 subgroups could be established, which are marked as borderline- and narcistical typus against a typus without narcistic disturbance. The validity of such classification can be estimated about the clinical diagnose of 28 patients of this sample. It proves to be much promising for the diagnostic of preoedipal disturbances.
