Cognitive theory, object relations and the self
Abstract:
The main concepts of object relations theory are considered. While the clinical value of the theory is unquestionable, the persistent reification of intrapsychic processes is seen as a barrier to clear thinking and as a cause of the isolation of psychoanalytic thought from general psychology. An account is offered in cognitive terms of how a person's schemes or procedures for interpersonal relating and for structuring the self develop and are maintained. It is suggested that the insights of object relations theory can be restated in these terms.
