William Ronald Dodds Fairbairn, Bernhard F. Hensel (Hrsg.) und Rainer Rehberger (Hrsg.)

Das Selbst und die inneren Objektbeziehungen: Eine psychoanalytische Objektbeziehungstheorie

, Psychosozial-Verlag, 2007. 280, 20,8 x 14,8 x 2,4 cm, Softcover. Zustand: 2. Fairbairs Theorie der Objektbeziehungen und sein darauf aufbauendes Persönlichkeitsmodell bildet die theoretische Ausgangsbasis für die Arbeiten von bedeutenden Psychoanalytikern wie beispielsweise W. D. Winnicott, Michael Balint, John D. Sutherland, Harry Guntrip, Daniel Stern und Otto Kernberg. Fairbairns Entwicklung einer umfassenden Objektbeziehungstheorie wird vielfach gepriesen als "Kopernikanische Wende" innerhalb der psychoanalytischen Theorie der menschlichen Persönlichkeit. Er hat die theoretische Tradition der Objektbeziehungspsychologie begründet, zu der W. D. Winnicott, Michael Balint, John D. Sutherland, Harry Guntrip und viele weitere Autoren bis hin zu Daniel Stern und Otto Kernberg gehören. Das Hauptanliegen seiner revolutionären Sichtweise besteht in dem Versuch, die Psychoanalyse vom "Trieb" als primärem motivationalen Faktor zu lösen. An die Stelle von Freuds Trieben treten bei Fairbairn die Objektbeziehungen, welche seiner Ansicht nach das hauptsächliche motivationale System bilden. Zudem hat er ein neues Persönlichkeitsmodell entwickelt, das Freuds Ich-Es-Über-Ich-Modell zu einem komplexen System erweitert, in dem auch die Objektbeziehungen und ihr intrapsychischer Niederschlag ihren Platz finden. Fairbairns Werk führte die Psychoanalyse dahin, das angeborene Bedürfnis des Kleinkindes nach Beziehung und Bindung als essentiell für die menschliche Entwicklung (und auch für die Therapie) anzusehen. Mit seiner Theorie der Objektbeziehungen liefert Fairbairn ein Modell der psychischen Struktur, basierend auf der Verinnerlichung und Modifikation von Erfahrungen mit den Eltern und anderen Personen von zentraler Wichtigkeit für ein Kleinkind. Er zeigt, wie das Selbst bzw. das Ich, aufgrund der Verinnerlichung des Objekts, frühere Enttäuschungen unvermeidlich mit einbezieht in alle folgenden Beziehungen, was schliesslich zu einer Ich-Spaltung und einer Unterdrückung der schmerzhaften inneren Objekt-Beziehungen führt.Fairbairns Theorie bildet bis zum heutigen Tag ein lebendiges Grundgerüst der psychoanalytischen Theorie und Praxis, der Kleinkind-Forschung, der Gruppen-Beziehungen und der Familientherapie.
