Joining two usually distinct areas of psychoanalytic treatment,
this volume explores the psychoanalytic theory of object relations
and its application to the study of marital and family interaction.
Freud's object relations model lends itself well to the study of
internalized object relations and external personal relations.
Integrating various psychoanalytic approaches as well as
contributions of Piagetian scholars, this essay also incorporates
general systems theory. The study covers the breakdown of marital
relationships, narcissism of partners, separation and individuation
of adolescent offspring, role typing, family communication, defense
mechanisms, entrapping, and emotional processes. It concludes with
a synthesis of marital and family object relations models.
"Object Relations and the Family ProcesS" introduces the reader
to the object relations model. It describes the process of
acquiring object concepts of both permanence and libidinal
strivings. The concept of libidinal object is then defined. An
overview of the psychoanalytic theory of object relations is given
and the intrapersonal and interpersonal spheres of object relations
are described. The remainder of the book is devoted to the author's
presentation of his hypothetical model. Both psychoanalysts and
therapists will find this model a useful one.
