FAIRBAIRN’ SIX EGO POSITIONS
Вставка
- Опубліковано 11 вер 2024
- Fairbairn posited six ego positions or inner voices, or 3 pairs:
The Whole Ego relating to the Good Object, is the healthy inner child relating to the patient and nurturing inner parent.
This is the part of the inner world that object relations therapists try to expand and grow.
The Antilibidinal Ego relating to the Bad Object is the depressed, angry, or hopeless inner child relating to the rejecting or neglectful inner parent. Whenever someone speaks in a tantrum-like way they are speaking from the Antilibidinal Ego, and they are speaking to the Bad Object.
Whenever someone is overly critical and harshly judgmental they are speaking from the Bad Object part of their personality, and are speaking to the Antilibidinal Ego (hopeless inner child).
The Libidinal Ego relating to the Exciting Object is the gullible and overly hopeful inner child relating to the exciting over-promising inner parent.
Whenever a person goes back to their cheating or abusive spouse they are operating from their Libidinal Ego and relating to the Exciting Object in their inner worlds.
Whenever they are in an addiction they are treating whatever they are addicted to as if it were an Exciting Object.
According to psychoanalytic therapists, the same positions are acted out in therapist and client interactions as well.

Thank you for sharing the video. Fairbairn really did put together a coherent framework for understanding personality disorders, attachment theory, dissociation, addictions, compulsive behaviours, projection, impulsivity, the inner conflict, as well as templates for treatment and analysis of resistance to treatment. A true giant of psychology.
I really like your channel - you make complex theories easy for lay people to understand ... and its hard to find anything on Fairbairn at all - let alone comprehensible. Thank you!
Superb work - really good channel.
Thank you. This was eye opening for me.
I'd bet that these personalities are acted out in each and every "romantic" relationship we experience, too - all throughout our lives. This is the reason that psychology and treatment is necessary if we want less chaos in our lives. 🥴😵💫🤓
so does that mean the 3 other positions are the transference of all these 3 positions mentioned to equal the 6 or 3 pairs?
Not even wrong...
