Opis

The first English edition of the classic study of early object relations by Argentinian psychoanalyst Jose Bleger. His thesis is that starting from primitive undifferentiation, prior to the paranoid-schizoid position described by Klein, autism and symbiosis co-exist as narcissistic relations in a syncretic 'agglutinated' nucleus.
