Elizabeth Taylor's ability to function psychologically normally was probably suppressed the first time she appeared on screen, at the age of ten. A normal childhood was taken away from him. By the time she was 15, she had starred in 7 films and won the hearts of all of America in National Velvet. She became a child star. She was not the first actress in her family. Her mother had been a successful stage actress before marrying Elizabeth's father. She was born in England and her family moved to Los Angeles when she was 7 years old. A family friend made a comment that Elizabeth was going to have a screen test at Universal Studios. She was hired. She became a worker before she even reached double digits.

However, since she was a very famous and important movie star, it is possible that she could not have identified any problems in herself. If she had used the defense mechanism of rationalization, then she would not have viewed any of her actions as wrong. Additionally, because psychodynamic therapies can take time to achieve results, she could have become frustrated with the lack of results and stopped therapy.
