compulsion, the demands of the superego, and the claims of reality. The love object chosen must be sexually gratifying, connected unconsciously to love objects in one's past (mother, father figures, etc. ed), sufficiently admired to meet the approval of the superego, and appropriate in meeting the demands of reality.

Waelder, we can see felicitous falling in love as simultaneously satisfying potentially conflicting needs. These can be enumerated as: in happy love the best that the original love objects have bequeathed to the child has been re-found. The beloved is not so much idealized as she or he represents realistic aspects of the lover's ego ideal. When this happens, the lover can experience a sense of pride in the person he or she has chosen. Finally the choice must meet the requirements of the ego in the sense that it is a realistic choice that assures the prospect of a continuous happy relationship in the future." – Martin S. Bergmann,

The love object chosen must be sexually gratifying, connected unconsciously to love objects in one's past (mother, father figures, etc. ed), sufficiently admired to meet the approval of the superego, and appropriate in meeting the demands of reality." – Martin S. Bergmann,

Psychoanalytic Quarterly, 1936, 5: 45–62; reprint: 2007, 76: 75–92). In it Waelder widened Freud's formulation of psychological symptoms, hypothesising that they were caused by and relieved conflict simultaneously. Symptoms, such as phobias and compulsions, each represent elements of some internal drive like superego, anxiety, reality, and defenses.
