    • Psychodynamic psychology
    • Clinical psychology

    Background:

    • Psychoanalytic theory traditionally emphasizes drive-defense models.
    • Representational world theories offer alternative perspectives on psychic functioning.
    • Integrating these models has been a challenge in psychoanalytic discourse.

    Observation:

    • Clinical practice often involves complex material reflecting multiple developmental conflicts.
    • Analysts intuitively manage self and object relations, even within a drive-defense framework.
    • Recurring focus on representational world concepts suggests a theoretical need.

    Findings:

    • This work articulates a method for integrating representational world concepts into structural theory.
    • It proposes that drive-defense and representational world models are coordinate aspects of structural theory.
