| Description | This chapter deals with the place of inner conflict in Fairbairn's object relations theory of personality structure. It discusses the Fairbairn's theory of the endopsychic structure of the personality, including the implications of that theory for his conceptions of psychopathology and treatment. Fairbairn suggests that were it not for deprivation and frustration, the ego would remain a unitary one. However, under the impact of these experiences, splits in both the ego and the object occur, forming what Fairbairn refers to the 'endopsychic structure of the personality'. The distinction between repression and dissociation becomes somewhat blurred in Freud's own work, particularly in his formulation of the superego and his discussion of the vicissitudes of repression and the return of the repressed. The goals of psychoanalytic treatment from the perspective of Fairbairn's object relations theory can be stated in a number of ways. Book Name: Psychoanalytic Perspectives on Conflict |
