Adolescent character formation and psychoanalytic theory

Article Abstract:

The Freudian, object relations and interpersonal theoretical models of adolescent maturation confirm the conceptual link between problems in adolescent development and the coming up psychopathology, but they do so from different directions. Freudian theorists, in the libidinal fixations and the structural changes of adolescence, mention integration of the drives and defenses. In Sullivan's view of personality development, adolescence was reduced to the caricature of what the person will become in the future. Some amount of insanity is required for adolescent's optimal adjustment under Winnicott's theory.
