Abstract:
Conflict according to the OPD is understood as a lasting and unconscious inner conflict, which should be described on the background of the child's or adolescent's developmental state. In accordance with the adult OPD the following seven conflicts can be differentiated: Dependence versus autonomy, submission versus control, desire for care versus autarchy, conflicts of self-value (narcissistic conflicts, self-value versus object-value), conflicts of loyalty (guilt conflicts, egoistic versus pro-social tendencies), oedipal sexual conflicts, identity conflicts (identity versus dissonance). These conflicts have been operationalized for 6 domain of daily living--family, peers, kindergarten/school, property, play and illness--for the developmental phases (2-5, 6-11, and older than 12 years) separately.
