Winnicott (1963b) terms this comprehensive mother the ‘environment’ mother because, for the infant, she is the total environment. To this I would add that the mother is less significant and identifiable as an object than as a process that is identified with cumulative internal and external transformations. I wish to identify the infant’s first subjective experience of the object as a transformational object, and this chapter will address will address the trace in adult life of this early relationship.
it all start with infancy, and is libibinal satisfaction that lays roots (neurons) for future character
