Abstract

This article intends first to look at some basic principles and concepts of the psychoanalytic theory of personality created by Ronald Fairbairn, such as central ego, libidinal ego, antilibidinal ego, rejecting object and exciting object, among others. From this analysis on, it evaluates the way in which these concepts have contributed to the development of a structural dynamic perspective of the psyche, as well as to a conception of psychopathology based on a point of view strictly object-relational. Finally, it discusses some of the key features and fundamental traits of the schizoid experience listed by the author, both in their theoretical and clinical aspects.
