About the presentation:  Fairbairn, unlike Freud, thought of the libido as object seeking.  Fairborn thought the libido was not primarily aimed at pleasure but as making relationships with objects external to the self.  Through various forms of contact between the child and maternal figure in the earliest oral phase of development and beyond, a close bond is formed by incorporating or internalizing experiences.  If the infant is emotionally frustrated he comes to feel that he is not really loved by his mother and that his own love for his mother is not really valued and accepted by her.   In 
this case presentation I will present the ways this early relationship shaped his emotional life.
