This is a status achieved after a lifetime – more specifically, only after death. Parental authority also becomes greater as the father dies, through totemic practices. For instance, among the Tallensi, the crocodile is understood to be the incarnation of an ancestor, and to kill a crocodile is considered to be an especially heinous crime (Fortes, 1949; see also Fortes, 1973; Lévi-Strauss, 1973, 1977). There is an equation between the ancestor and the ego ideal. It is the distinction between the biological individual and the socially defined category of the person that is being discussed here, a theme that has permeated the anthropological literature since Mauss’s celebrated article on the notion of the person (Mauss, 1938; see also Dos Santos & Deoscoredes, 1971; Mauss, 1921).

The analytic process recapitulates the narrative of the dead father complex. In different ways, Karl’s and Patrick’s analyses attest to their struggle to construct a structure in which the dead father can have a place. Karl inhabited a world where he experienced himself at the mercy of his mother’s desire and where there was not even a faint delineation of a place for the father. Violence represented Karl’s attempt to place an obstacle in her way and to create separation. Patrick’s configuration was different, and his analysis led to the emergence of his desire to beat the father to death.
