anaclitic

Denoting a person whose choice of love-interest arises from the dependence of the libido on another instinct (e.g., hunger).

I don’t think I have to gloss the true anaclitic purport behind your need to humiliate a woman doctor symbolically.

Pertaining to an acute emotional dependence on another person or persons.

When introjects are weak (or even absent), an anaclitic personality configuration results, characterized by dependency, insecurity, and feelings of helplessness and emptiness.
