Stressing that both self and object constancy continue to unfold throughout the life cycle, contributors discuss how this evolves, and the causes for and consequences of faulty development when this is not achieved.

The first two sections of the book examine theoretical and developmental aspects of self and object constancy with an emphasis on healthy development. Among the areas covered are: the earliest internalizations, self constancy and altered states of consciousness, and self and object differentiation.
