Jon, I am sorry I disappointed you. My understanding of object relations theory is like swiss cheese and I chose not to provide an inadequate response by humming a few bars. By the way, object-relations theory provides a non-Oedipal alternative to your interpretation as explained by the Wikipedia article. I became the withholding bad object to you. I hope you will be able to integrate that with the good object I have been at times.
Good for Glen. I am not a practitioner of psychoanalytic theory but it may not be for you. As for psychoanalytic *treatment, *see the last paragraph of the Wikipedia article.
