Abstract

Three seems to be every interest in pursuing, for theoretical purposes, a purely sociological view of behavioral malfunction. A sociological view would stress the importance of man's unique psychological organ-the ego-and the anxiety- buffering function which the ego fulfils. It would stress the fact that the individual, in order to act in society, must perform within social ritual rules for interaction. Socialization, in this light, is seen as the training and fashioning of a performer; one who will be able, by fictional performance, to sustain the cultural plot with a maximum of meaningful conviction and a minimum of anxiety-inducing bungling.
