NISHIHIRA (1995) found factors accounting for powers of recovery in ego by analysing biographies. The factors are 1) basic trust (Erikson, 1959) and health throughout the infant period, 2) competency (Erikson, 1959) from childhood to adolescence, 3) first, second and third psychological weaning, 4) a sense of mission as an identity. The purpose of the present study was to examine why Beethoven didn't commit suicide by analysing his HEILIGENSTADTER testament and his life history. Conclusions are the following. 1) He had basic trust and health throughout his infant period thanks to his relationship with his mother. 2) He had musical competency from childhood to adolescence. 3) His father influenced his super-ego, and his grandfather influenced his ego-ideal. Finally, Beethoven identified with his great grand father. 4) He felt a sense of mission in his historical identity as an artist. Thus, we can conclude with certainty that Beethoven had the powers of recovery inherent in a young ego, and this is the reason why he didn't commit suicide.
