During a heated argument with his father, 15-year-old jason developed a paralysis of his right arm. medical examinations can find no physical cause for the paralysis. use the psychoanalytic perspective to explain how the paralysis may be jason's attempt to deal with an unconscious conflict between his id and superego.

in this case Jason knew it was wrong to disobey his father's authority, but he wanted to be right, and get his point across.
This create a conflict between his ID as a son who shall respect and obey his father and his superego that create a tendency to be value or to have the winning opinion/argument.
