help me out on this one: I bump into the term "anaclitic", and "anaclitic
depression" from time to time, but nowhere can I find the kernel of the idea.
Freud mentions it once in his story of Schreber, Barry Schwabsky lobbed it
at me once as a shibbolith; Laplace and Pontalis never defined it to my
satisfaction... what, exactly, is the point of "anaclisis" ?
