Hank displays the oral aggressive personality as evidenced by his sarcasm and argumentative nature. There is evidence of fixation at the oral stage. It includes his chain smoking, continuous eating, and chewing on his fingernails, and, in particular, eating the ice cream and smoking while thinking about his stressful week. Fixation at this stage would be due to either overindulgence or neglect in feeding during infancy. The case study implies that his mother overindulged Hank by feeding him a bottle often.
