Abstract

Telepathy is a process fashioned after the model of intrapsychic communication in the primordial mother-child unit. Telepathy is subjected to organic repression and is superseded by more desirable and effective interpersonal communication. The schizophrenic breakdown is in part to be attributed to the failure of organic repression. Every telepathic incident involves the temporary fusion of 2 emotionally linked individuals into 1 functional unit, reestablishing for a fleeting moment the original mother -child unit as it existed at an early developmental stage.
