[Tryggve Gran--the first Norwegian heroic pilot].

Tryggve Gran grew up in an affluent family in Bergen, Norway. The German emperor, William II, often visited the families of his friends. Gran became a good skier, hence well prepared for Robert Scott's second expedition to the Antartic in 1910. Gran deeply regretted the Scott-Amundsen competition, and was cut off from the team heading for the South Pole. In 1913, Gran trained in England and France as an air pilot. On 30 July 1914 he became the first pilot to cross the North Sea from Scotland to Norway. He joined the Royal Air Force in 1916 under the pseudonym of Teddy Grant, passing himself off as a Canadian, and received the Military Cross for distinguished war service. During the Second World War, Gran was a member of Quisling's pro-German National Party. A commemorative stamp was issued in 1944 on the 30th anniversary of his North Sea flight, and a meeting held in his honour with Quisling and German officers present. In this article, the author discusses some psychological aspects of Tryggve Gran's choice of tasks and of his politics. Gran lost his father when he was only five and when he was 11 he was sent off to a pension in Switzerland for a year. Strongly ambivalent feelings from the oedipal period and from the latency may later have been released through hazardous activities, certainly with self-destructive aspects. His membership in Quisling's party might be seen in this context.

"That's what my imagination says." A study of antisocial behavior in two boys.

Children attempt to negotiate a balance between aggressive urges and moral imperatives in order to protect both themselves and those they love. They must also balance pleasure associated with the reality and fantasy of vanquishing competitors and the dangers of anticipated retaliation. Psychoanalytic work with anti-social and violent young patients affords a special opportunity to explore how the failures in these negotiations can lead to seriously limited and distorted views of self and others. The treatments of Rick, age 8, and Dean, age 16, demonstrate the ways in which dangerous and frightening aspects of enduring psychic reality dictate configurations of both aggressive fantasy and action. Clinical inquiry revealed how each boy's longings, defenses and conflicts found expression in the attacking, destroying, and confrontations of daily life.
