"Guilt feeling- We know of two sources for feeling of guilt: that arising from the dread of authority and the later one from the dread of the super-ego. The first one compels us to renounce instinctual gratification; the other presses over and above this towards punishment, since the persistence of forbidden wishes cannot be concealed from the super-ego."

"Guilt, Sense of- The tension between the strict super-ego and the subordinate ego we call the sense of guilt; it manifests itself as the need for punishment."
