TexteLangue : français Détails de publication : 2022.
Sujet(s) : Ressources en ligne : Abrégé : Emotion and affect, although linked to one another, refer to different experiences. The author links the notion of emotion with object relations theory and the notion of affect with drive theory. These two theories are not incompatible, but they stem from two different points of view on mental functioning. He emphasizes the role of the mother’s capacity for reverie to allow the evolution of proto-emotions toward elaborated emotions and proto-affects toward elaborated affects. He gives a clinical illustration taken from a therapeutic observation of an autistic child and his relationship with his mother.
