- primitive insticts

- irrational

- ultimate motives of behaviour

rational

- rules and taboos

- internalisation of parents' attitudes and belief

- 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)
