object relations
Definition:
Object relations theory, integrated into Jungian thought, explores the internalised relationships with significant others (objects) that shape the psyche. These relationships influence patterns of attachment, behaviour, and emotional responses.
Example:
Exploring object relations helps clients understand how early relationships impact their current interactions and self-perception. For instance, a client with a fear of intimacy might uncover unresolved attachment issues from childhood.
