Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Object relations theory emphasizes that social relationships and their origins in childhood play a significant role in shaping adult relationships. Central to this theory is the idea that early experiences with primary caregivers establish internalized mental representations or "objects" that influence how individuals perceive and relate to others in future relationships. This differs from A, which focuses specifically on the early oral stage of development, and C, which emphasizes the cognitive unconscious rather than social relationships. D, the fear of success, is not directly related to object relations theory.
