- this sexual experience continues to affect relationship style in adult life

- primitive insticts

- irrational

- ultimate motives of behaviour

rational

- rules and taboos

- internalisation of parents' attitudes and belief

protect ego from pressure caused by conflict with other regions

attributing the feelings to the others rather than themselves

counsellor being a blank slate

- splitting occurs to defend the love and hate feelings against the same object

- internal working model similar to relations model but

- emphasis on biological based mechanism

- attachment style caused by significant others

I-interpersonal (issues from relationship)
