Description
Dr. Otto Kernberg examines the success and failure of sexual love in couples, from adolescence to old age, exploring the conscious and unconscious emotional interactions between partners.
He considers the role of the superego in relationships, suggesting that couples establish a joint ego ideal, which plays a crucial role in the success of the relationship. Kernberg also studies the nature of relations between the couple and the social environment, taking into account the biological and psychological determinants of the sexual experience.
Through the lens of object relations theory, Kernberg shows how unconscious, internalized object relations from the past can trigger conflicts and exciting aspects of a couple's love life, including the impact of narcissism, masochism, and aggression on relationships.
