With the analysis of the psychotherapy for the student, who had failed his college entrance exams twice and then prepared for those of the following year for a long period of time, his daily feelings were clarified and then a hypothesis was formed about his psychological mechanism. The Baum Test in which the client succesively drew the picture of a tree brought out the truth in relief how the ego of a 19 years-old student was in conflict between the outer issue of overcoming the "entrance exam" and the inner issue of pursuing "the independence from his parents." Analyzing this test, with the recollection of his younger days by the client who has come to adulthood and the result of the psychological test (Twenty Answer Test, Motoaki Inkblot Test Atype), the author put forward the following hypothesis. The young man, who could not rebel against his parents, tried to achieve the higha-level ego integration through the independence from his parents at the time of the entrance exams during his adolescence. He continuously failed the exams in order to eliminate his parents'expectations. That is to say, repeatedly failing exams might be the utmost coping behaviour for the weak ego of the young man to make the parents give up and regain himself. On the contraly, it is considered that his ego was strong enough to conduct such coping behaviour, which suggested the possibility of ego restructure based on its strength.
