La structure néurotique d'un individu sear justement l'élaboration, la formation, l'éclosion dans le moi de noeuds conflictuels provenant d'une part du milieu, d'autre part de la façon toute personelle dont cet individu réagit à ces influences [The neurotic structure of an individual is precisely the elaboration, the formation, the birth of conflicting knots in the ego, stemming on the one hand from the environment and on the other from the entire personal way this individual reacts to these influences].
