    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Psychoanalytic Theory

    Background:

    • Existing theories struggle to integrate object love and narcissistic love phenomena.
    • Unintegrated theories include object-relations and drive-discharge/conflict models.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To reconcile object love and narcissistic love within a unified theoretical framework.
    • To differentiate between discharge and reflexive objects and their associated transferences.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of psychoanalytic literature, particularly Freudian concepts.
    • Application of the structural model of psychic organization.
    • Distinction between discharge and reflexive object developmental lines.

    Main Results:

    • Introduction of two distinct object classes: discharge and reflexive objects.
    • Description of separate developmental stages for each object class.
    • Identification of two corresponding transference types: discharge and reflexive transference.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed distinction offers a more integrated understanding of love and transference phenomena.
    • Development of discharge objects relates to ego differentiation.
    • Development of reflexive objects relates to ego ideal-superego complex formation and introjection.
