Object relations theory

Attachment Theories and Their Effects The interaction between an infant and her parents have serious and lasting effects in her life through the way she approaches future relationships with other people, and also with how she approaches her relationship with God. How much she trusted her parents will be reflected in how much she trusts her romantic partner or God, much in the same way of how she expects to be treated in her relationships reflects how she was treated by her parents. Different…

The theory of attachment was developed by Melanie Klein. Attachment is defined as the formation of a psychological and emotional relationship between a primary caregiver and a child, not necessarily the child’s biological parents. In Melanie’s theory, she reveals that the attachment style a child develops for their caregiver can be Secure, Avoidant, Resistant/ambivalent/Anxious, and disorganized. These connections children develop for their caregiver will be the primary template for all future…

definite descriptions, which are phrases of the form “the X” and denote some object. I will first reconstruct Russell’s account, which argues that that all definite descriptions are in reality a series of propositional statements and claims. I will then reconstruct Strawson’s account and claim that Russell’s account is flawed because it focuses exclusively on the meaning of sentences, ignoring their use, and because Russell’s theory of description fails to fully describe how definite…

Tablemate, a product produced by VitalTech has effectively given St. Peter’s residence a more social, pleasurable, and comfortable dining experience. A critical part of the design process was understanding that many residents are sometimes forced to leave their homes and live at St. Peter’s due to their disabilities, this gave us the idea of what experience the device should provide in the final product. The final decision was to give the ladies at table two a dining experience that would feel…

The object that I chose to talk about that I use in everyday life is the mirror. I use the mirror everyday to see if my hair isn’t looking messy, to see if my teeth are white in the morning, and I also use it to see if there are any stains anywhere on my clothing. Its a very useful item in my life, that I couldn’t live without, since I’m always paranoid about how I look everyday, so I just always have to look in the mirror. I basically look at the mirror every time I leave my room. As…

The subject, hereby referred to by given name Ci'ithraal and/or shortened Ci'ith, is a hermaphroditic, bipedal Xenocidae-class extraterrestrial from the █████-█ subspace region. Its physical qualities are markedly feminine, and its overall body structure is very similar to that of a human in nature--while a full study of Ci'ith's biology has not yet been conducted, it has proven quite cooperative to physical examination. Ci'ith stands, on her feet, at a height of about 1.7m, and is 10m from top…

in the same room with the subject, was positioned several feet behind the participant and outside of the subject's field of vision. All subjects completed three conditions, in which, upon being presented with an object or cue, subjects indicated if they subvocalized the name of the object. One condition replicates previous research in regards to the nature of subvocalizing and served as a baseline, whereas the other two conditions involved an extended refresh component. In the basic form of the…

experiences in which, eros produces a gap between the subject and the desired object. With the use of vivid imagery and overt symbolism within fragment 105A, Sappho allows her readers to experience the uncontrollable emotions of desire and attraction that controls a person who is in love, even if it is impractical for her to have such feelings. This ultimately creates a tangible distance between the subject and the object she desires. In this paper, I will argue that yearning after an…

outlook on nature, in addition to opening his mind. When five-year-old Brooks first came across the wasp house, he had no doubt in his mind that the object was man-made. He assumed that the "gray paper sphere" (Brooks 2) with its "rough but trim" (Brooks 2) shape, and "intricately colored surface with subtle swirls of gray and tan; and…
