‘Conflict theory’ mirrors the chaotic configuration of the borderline psyche. Brenner has effectively discarded the separate psychic layers of conscious and unconscious. The stream of outer and inner information is loosely connected, mirroring the instability and contradictory nature of the borderline psyche, as opposed to the more hierarchical and austere configuration of drives and perceptions among normal people. Thus, it is an apt example of a „neurotic theory”. It will not function as a model of the normal psyche. Conflict theory cannot be reconciled with neuroscience, or the findings of classical psychoanalysis and analytical psychology.
