Etymologically, the word [[rival ]] refers to people who live by the river and draw their water from the same stream. From a psychoanalytic point of view, rivalry is not simply a struggle for possession of the object, but can also be understood as having sexual, identificatory, and narcissistic aspects.

The ensemble From a [[psychoanalytic]] point of view, [[rivalry]] is not simply a struggle for possession of partial drives directed toward the mother[[object]], once she is perceived but can also be understood as an object that is differentiated from the selfhaving [[sexual]], [[identificatory]], is accompanied by hostile rivalry toward the father. This oedipal rivalry is extended to the hostile relationships that occur among siblingsand [[narcissistic]] aspects.

The object ensemble of rivalry can change in relation to bisexuality. Wishes for the rival'[[partial drive]]s death are repressed, and directed toward the formerly hated rival becomes a homosexual love-object. In "Neurotic Mechanisms in Jealousy[[mother]], Paranoia and Homosexuality" (1922b), Sigmund Freud posited once she is perceived as an analogy between this mechanism and the process [[object]] that is differentiated from the basis for social bonds: "In both processes[[self]], there is first the presence of jealous and accompanied by hostile impulses which cannot achieve satisfaction; and both [[rivalry]] toward the affectionate and [[father]]. This [[oedipal]] [[rivalry]] is extended to the social feelings of identification arise as reactive formations against the repressed aggressive impulses" (p. 232)hostile relationships that occur among siblings.

Freud thus attributed the decline The [[object]] of [[rivalry ]] can change in relation to repression[[bisexuality]]. [[Wish]]es for the rival's [[death]] are [[repressed]], which results from the establishing of the superego and from the confrontation between hostile wishes and the child's impotenceformerly [[hated]] [[rival]] becomes a [[homosexual]] [[love]]-[[object]].

Rivalry creates a link of ambivalence In "[[Neurotic Mechanisms in Jealousy, Paranoia and Homosexuality]]", [[Sigmund Freud]] posited an analogy between the subject this mechanism and an other who can always become the subject's alter ego, because the object of desire process that is the same basis for [[social]] [[bond]]s: "In both. Putting himself in the place of this otherprocesses, the subject imagines himself as being dispossessed of a source of enjoyment (jouissance) that tolerates no sharing. The subject's hatred there is all first the stronger because unconsciously, this struggle is for possession presence of an object that bears jealous and hostile impulses which cannot achieve satisfaction; and both the narcissistic illusion of perfect continuity between self affectionate and other. The destructiveness the social feelings of identification arise as reactive formations against the tendency away from differentiation is thus transformed into hatred repressed aggressive impulses."<ref>"[[Neurotic Mechanisms in Jealousy, Paranoia and suspended through triangulationHomosexuality]]". p.232</ref>

[[Freud]] thus attributed the decline of [[rivalry]] to [[repression]], which results from the establishing of the [[superego]] and from the confrontation between hostile [[wish]]es and the [[child]]'s [[impotence]]. [[Rivalry]] creates a link of [[ambivalence]] between the [[subject]] and an [[other]] who can always become the [[subject]]'s alter [[ego]], because the [[object]] of [[desire]] is the same for both.  Putting himself in the place of this [[other]], the [[subject]] imagines himself as being dispossessed of a source of [[enjoyment]] (''[[jouissance]]'') that tolerates no sharing. The [[subject]]'s hatred is all the stronger because [[unconscious]]ly, this struggle is for possession of an [[object]] that bears the [[narcissistic]] [[illusion]] of perfect continuity between [[self]] and [[other]]. The destructiveness of the tendency away from differentiation is thus transformed into hatred and suspended through triangulation. [[Rivalry]], which tends toward [[repetition ]] and acquires its various layers through reaction formations, is one component in the structuring of [[human ]] [[desire]].
