CONTROL CASE
  1. the case where control is obsessive or other-determined, or where the individual is controlling things out of compulsion or fear. (Dn 55!, p. 100)
  2. the person who feels he must be cold blooded in order to be rational is what is called in Dianetics a "control case," and on examination will be found to be very far from as rational as he might be. People who cannot experience emotion because of their aberrations are ordinarily sick people. (SA, p. 94)
