The ways in which an individual (the subject) relates to and
perceives other people (his or her "objects") has been a
preoccupation of psychoanalysis and in recent years a plethora of
concepts has grown up in the literature. In this study, the
changing meanings of the different concepts are explained from
context to context, discussing in depth the theoretical issues
underlying them. The text includes an historical survey of how
mental objects have been understood in the various "schools" of
psychoanalysis as they have developed. The topics discussed
include: Freud and his associates; the object-relations approaches
of Klein, Fairbairn and Bion; orientations derived from ego
psychology such as those of Schafer and Kernberg and the self
orientation of Winnicott and Kohut. The author also discusses the
conceptual and clinical issues involved in the major differences
between the concepts. The three basic meanings of the concepts of
mental objects as they have emerged in the literature are
demonstrated showing how they are related to ongoing issues in
contemporary psychoanalysis.
