It explores an extended interpretation of his 'psychology of dynamic structure' and applies that model to a number of different areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFairbairn's Scottish origins are examined through his relationship with the work of Ian Suttie and Edward Glover. A new extended object relations model of phantasy and inner reality that reflects Fairbairn's approach, as represented by his contribution to the Controversial Discussions, is also developed. In cooperation with Paul Finnegan, this version of Fairbairn's model is applied to an understanding of multiple personality disorder or dissociative identity disorder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis model is combined with Fairbairn's theory of art to provide an understanding of some 'puzzle' films based in trauma and dissociation. Fairbairn's theory is presented here as a synthesis of classical and relational approaches, and his appropriation by relational theorists as a precursor to exclusively relational approaches is challenged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe deep structure of Fairbairn's object relations model is developed through a detailed comparison with Glover's ego-nuclei model. Fairbairn's nuanced view of instinct and affect is investigated, and some parallels with neuropsychoanalysis are developed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFinally, some ways that the developed model might be further enhanced to become a general model are suggested.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47608197382380,"sku":"9781782205708","price":86.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781782205708-thinking-through-fairbairn.jpg?v=1778189077"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/graham-s-clarke.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
