2017
This work explores the foundational anxieties that emerge during the development of the self, drawing on psychoanalytic and developmental psychology. It investigates how early relational experiences and internal conflicts shape an individual's capacity for self-actualization. The authors offer a nuanced understanding of how confronting these primitive anxieties is integral to achieving a more integrated and authentic sense of self.
