Exploring the foundations of psychic structure and its development, the book presents a novel perspective on the psyche as a self-organizing system. It expands on established theories of psychosexuality and object constitution by introducing a pre-schizoid phase of psychogenesis. In this phase, the object remains undifferentiated, lacking the categories of space and time, and is experienced through immediate sensoriality. This framework offers significant insights into both normal and pathological psychological development.
