- 소개/요약[This book explores] current research findings bearing on emotional development. Beginning with a nuanced reappraisal of S. Freud's philosophical premises, [the author] argues that Freud's reliance on "primary process" as the means of linking body and mind inadvertently stripped affects of their process role. Further, the resulting emphasis on fantasy left the problem of conceptualizing the mental life of the prerepresentational infant in a theoretical limbo. Drawing on the literatures of child development, ethology, and neuroscience, Jones argues that, in their simplist form, affects are best understood as the presymbolic representatives and governors of motivational systems. It then becomes possible to re-vision early development as the sequential maturation of different motivational systems, each governed by a specific presymbolic affect. Jones's reappraisal of emotional development in early childhood and beyond clarifies the strengths and weaknesses of such traditional concepts as infantile sexuality, object relations, internalization, splitting, and the emergence of the dynamic unconscious.
