What passes, passes by: why the psychosocial is not (just) relational
Frosh, Stephen (2014) What passes, passes by: why the psychosocial is not (just) relational. In: Freud Museum International Conference on Ronald Fairbairn and The Object Relations Tradition, 2014, London, UK. (Unpublished)
Abstract
Event synopsis: Ronald Fairbairn was the father of object relations theory, which now permeates modern psychoanalytic thought. He developed a distinctive psychology of dynamic structure that began with the infant’s need for relationships, and in which mental structure is based upon the relations between ego-structures and the internal objects that result from introjection and psychic modification of these early relationships. This conference will outline the basics of Fairbairn’s contribution, and then explore the ramification and development of these ideas to clinical work, and broadly to applications in modern psychoanalytic thinking.
