Humans are weak. Lacking the claws and thick skins of other
animals, we are forced to rely on members of our own species to
survive and flourish in the world. The fact that the human infant
is born in an utterly helpless state also makes others' protective
care necessary. Attachment, bonding, concern, and mutuality thus
become cornerstones of human existence. Trust also enters this
equation. Originating in the early mother-child relationship, trust
continues to grow, get contextually refined tempered by reality
testing, and gain nuances throughout the subsequent adult life. Its
absence (mistrust) or malformation (distrust) contributes to
psychopathology and is responsible for much intrapsychic distress
and interpersonal strife. Given its formative significance and it
crucial role in the therapeutic process, one is surprised by the
paucity of psychoanalytic writings specifically devoted to the
topic of trust and mistrust. Few, if any, monographs on trust
exist. A collection of essays written specifically for this volume,
it deals with the ontogenesis, psychopathology, cultural
vicissitudes, and technical implications of trust and mistrust.
