Question

People are motivated mainly by a need to have relationships with others. Severe problems in the relationships between children and their caregivers may lead to abnormal development. This statement BEST reflects the beliefs of which type of theorist? Select one: a. Ego b. Self c. Behavioural d. Object relations

Answer 1

d. Object relations

Step-by-step explanation:

Object relations are a form of psychoanalysis that differs significantly from the view of Sigmund Freud that individuals are driven by sexual and aggressive urges, implying instead that humans are driven mainly by the need for interaction with others to create connections.

Theorists of object relations emphasize the significance of early family relationships, mainly the relationship between mother and child, in the growth of personality.
