I think someone might want to talk about how an infant internalizes a caregiver (mother actually) as an object. The whole process of disillusionment, attempts to destroy the object, realizing it is seperate from the infant, etc. JoeSmack (talk) 18:10, August 10, 2005 (UTC)

Is the section on Stockholm Syndrome neutral? The idea that it is simply 'genetically programmed' seems difficult, could this be substantiated? Perhaps a psychological rather than biological perspective would be useful here?

I have removed the book by Winnicott that I originally put in the References section, because, having had a chance to look at it, I see this was clearly for the lay person. I tend to prefer to cite academic books. ACEOREVIVED 20:58, 7 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
