ABSTRACT
PickIrma Brenman starts with material which is rather stark in its portrayal of these early processes and then move on to more evolved material in which, although much modification of the primary activities has ensued, as Susan Isaacs described that he believe people can trace back the earlier determinants of thought and behaviour, the emergence of the early object relations. In author's first session maxi was apparently unseeing of the analyst, but focused on the light hanging in the centre of the room. Gradually the healthy infant begins to differentiate what belongs to himself and whether he cowers because of threats of danger from outside or because he fears the violence of his own feelings and his perceptions of something approaching reality. The analyst interpreted that the light was the entire world to him, that he wanted it to shut everything else out, and to take it as something very good into himself.
