Description:
From the point of view of David E. Scharff, M.D., and Jill Savege Scharff, M.D., a couple is a system of conscious and unconscious intrapsychic object relationships. All the object relations theorists share the fundamental premise that attachment is the central motivational force in personality development – in other words, individual development is motivated by the need to be in relationships, and therefore personality forms in a relational context. It follows, then, that a couple is not simply a pair of individuals.
