What do the words "neurotic fixations" mean?

 

[vi edit]

Fixations of the neurotic sense.

A guy who is constantly thinking about running around a mall naked smearing peanut butter all over himself would be thought of having neurotic fixations.

In a more serious sense, a person who is constantly thinking of harming someone else in a very bizzare or violent manner would be considered neurotically fixated as well.

An obsessive or persistent mental or emotional disorder that affects only part of the personality, is accompanied by a less distorted perception of reality than in a psychosis, does not result in disturbance of the use of language, and is accompanied by various physical, physiological, and mental disturbances (as visceral symptoms, anxieties, or phobias). A psychosis (such as schizophrenia) is characterized by a lost sense of reality.
