Abstract

Taking as its starting point Selma Fraiberg's book,The Magic Years, this paper presents a critique of traditional psychoanalytic developmental theory. A contrast is drawn with some of the findings of current research on infancy, and an outline is suggested for the foundations of a developmental theory that would be consistent with the tenets of self psychology.
