    This study explores internalization, detailing how object-relationships shape internalizations like incorporation, introjection, and identification. These internalizations also reciprocally influence object-relations and self-organization.

    Area of Science:

    • Psychology
    • Psychoanalytic Theory

    Background:

    • This essay examines the concept of internalization within psychoanalytic theory.
    • It focuses on how internalizations develop from object-relationships.

    Observation:

    • Several forms of internalization were identified: incorporation, introjection, and identification.
    • Their distinct characteristics and relationship to object-quality were explored.

    Findings:

    • Object-relationship quality influences the type and pattern of internalizations.
    • Internalizations reciprocally shape object-relationships and the self's organization.

    Implications:

    • Internalizations and object-relationships are mutually determining and correlated.
    • Understanding this dynamic is key to comprehending self-development and relational patterns.
