Mahler's individual theory (stages)
Definition
1.Normal Autism (birth – 2 mo) – Periods of sleep outweigh periods of arousal.
2. Symbiosis (2mo – 5mo) – Mother-infant is perceived as a single fused entity. Developing perceptual abilities gradually enable infants to distinguish the inner from the outer world
3. Differentiation (5mo-10mo) – Distinctness from mother is appreciated. Progressive neurological development and increased altertness draw infant’s attention away from self to the outer world.
4. Practicing (10 to 18 mo) – The ability to move autonomously increases the child’s exploration of the outer world.
5. Rapprochement (18-24 mo) – Children move away from their mothers and come back for reassurance. As they slowly realize their helplessness and dependence, the need for independence alternates with the need for closeness.
6. Object Constancy (2-5yrs) – Children gradually comprehend and are reassured by the permanence of mother and other important people, even when not in their presence.
