The authors thought it would be alutary first to present a background against which the formulations explicated in Parts II and III could be viewed. In Part I, Chapter 1 written by Pine and Mahler), we therefore integrate the ideas contained :n 20 or more widely scattered relevant papers by Mahler and her co- workers, past and present. This opening chapter was greatly influenced by our joint discussions. (The minutes of our staff conferences are utilized in this as well as in other chapters.) Part I, Chapter 2, as well as the Appendices (written by Pine), describes the evolution and the functioning of the research setting from a methodological point of view. We believe the correlation of Pine's work with that of Mahler and Bergman becomes evident in Parts II and III. In Part II, Chapters 3 through 6, Bergman and Mahler describe their clinical study of the first three subphases of the separation-individuation process and provide illustrative vignettes. Chapter 7 deals with the fourth subphase and with object constancy in its psychoanalytic (emotional) sense. In Part III, contributed by Mahler and Bergman, the "subphase histories" of five representative children in interaction with their mothers are presented. Thus, in this section we attempt to document the implications of the broad middle range of "variations of normalcy" contained in Part II. From our observational study, as well as our clinical work, the subphase developmental histories of the representative cases seem to prove quite dramatically the conceptualizations of McDevitt and Pine, on which the seventh chapter of the book essentially is based.
