In this introduction to Object Relations Theory we cover Melanie Klein's idea of the paranoid-schizoid position and the depressive position. Otto Kernberg's concept of object relations dyads and borderline personality organisation. Donald Winnicott's idea of the true and false self and the transitional object. Michael Balint's concept of the basic fault and primary love. And the fundamental contributions of William Fairbairn.
