Poverty as pathological self-punishment

The "pathological poverty" could be a form of self-aggression caused by frustration of those who would recover the intrauterine period.

A reader, who signs "Elena," made a comment I use as a reference to this article.

It is generally said that "incestuous relationship" should be understood the sexual bond between people inbred parent with child, sibling, mother with child.

However, I have heard that some authors (do not know who they are) would argue that the only "incestuous relationship" is that which occurs when the male penetrates the mother vaginally.

What grounds exist to restrict the term "incestuous relationship" that occurs between a mother and son?

One possible explanation would be that incest should be understood the desire to return to the womb to regain well-being that way and never exceeded the unconscious recalls of intrauterine life.

For this reason men in each sex reintentarían return to the womb to recover that well never surpassed and only when this attempt will be made with the biological mother, corresponds to speak of "incestuous relationship".

I acknowledge that I have trouble accepting this hypothesis because it preserved the belief that the incestuous relationship should include the desire to copulate with female relatives, but I assume that I am affected by the proverbial human difficulty to understand.

One of the ideas proposed by the reader who mentioned signature "Elena" is that "pathological poverty" could be caused by an attempt to self-punishment to the impossibility of returning to the womb, the "anger, pain, rebellion" caused for so great frustration induce some people to forgo being ectopic, without ruling out that those same feelings, derived from frustration, also encourage anti-social reactions that lead to crime and its inevitable punishment that would add to the already mentioned self-inflicted.
