Though I am not a determinist, I theorise that the way we fulfil our
psychological needs varies with our condition, an echo of Marx's
"social being determines consciousness"
except in certain rare cases of pathology.
I could do without the "except" by means of a reductio -- as
Koenigsberg's doing -- but prefer not to.
