Object Relations is a psychological theory that focuses on the relationships individuals form with others and how these relationships influence their emotional development. It emphasizes the importance of early interactions, particularly with primary caregivers, in shaping one's sense of self and interpersonal dynamics. This theory suggests that people internalize their experiences with significant others, leading to mental representations or "objects" that affect future relationships. These internalized objects can influence behavior, emotional responses, and the ability to connect with others, impacting overall mental health and well-being.
