Because the originations of certain habits that stay on through to adulthood are almost impossible to determine, they are worth investigating to try to understand their effects on the individual. One particular habit of interest is the nail-biting that begins in childhood and continues into adulthood. It is a nervous habit and can be distracting for others (Stiefer, 2001, p27, 3p).

When the child begins nail-biting, many times it is because he or she observed this action from a family member.

Therefore, psychoanalytic treatment tries to help the patient achieve insight into the repressed conflict, and often encourages the outward release of the hostility that is being directed inward. Recent studies have shown that a form of psychotherapy that concentrates on present-day interactions between the depressed person and the social environment is quite effective for alleviating unipolar depression..
