Title: TOWARD AN OBJECT‐RELATIONS APPROACH IN PSYCHOANALYTIC MARITAL THERAPY*
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to describe the features which distinguish psychoanalytic marital therapy from other forms of marital therapy, to describe briefly how important classical psychoanalytic concepts can be applied to marital therapy, to present in somewhat greater detail the author's view of how object‐relations theories and, particularly, the work of three authors, Fairbairn, Kohut and Gilligan, can be applied to psychoanalytic marital therapy, and finally, to indicate certain directions for further study.
