“…Although it may be suggested that any attempt by the infant of this age to engage the mother could just as well be attributed to inborn and as yet, developmentally speaking, nonsubjective signaling mechanisms of a nonspecific sort, the manner and persistence of these attempts, as well as the way in which they are focused upon the mother as means of getting her to participate in established familiar rhythms of interaction, make it difficult not to postulate the operation of a primitive but subjective, intentional factor. (See also Resch, 1979, pp. 427-428, who speaks of the infant's “affective infusion of interest in the outer world” during this development phase, and of an emerging pleasure in what one “instrumentally can do with objects and people.”)…”

The peek-a-boo behavior of a young infant is used to illustrate early processes of intentionality and reality testing. Based on the observations made in this study, as well as findings from similar studies of face-to-face behavior in infants, a general paradigm of cyclical engagementdisengagement of objects on the part of infants is described and discussed. Observations of the transfer of engagement-disengagement behavior on the part of the infant from oral to visual modalities are presented. The observations are discussed from a psychoanalytic object-relational standpoint with integrations of cognitive theory. Implications for an emerging subjectivity in the infant are briefly addressed.

Psykoanalysens børnebillede handler ikke om »rigtige« børn. Dels er iagttagelse, beskrivelse og fortolkning sammenblandede, og der mangler mulighed for at skelne mellem forskellige fortolkningers forhold til virkeligheden. Dels er selve de begreber, hvorigennem barnet opfattes, misvisende. Dette hænger sammen med deres udspring i 1800-tallets forestilling om en enliniet stadieudvikling, hvor der sættes lighedstegn mellem barnet, den vilde og den sjælesyge. Endelig opfattes mennesket i overensstemmelse med den utilitaristiske individualismes menneskesyn, hvorved ægte afhængighed og hengivenhedenten assimileres til ulighedsrelationer eller falder helt ud af systemet. Dette stemmer ikke med nutidig viden. I modsætning til teoridannelsen har psykoanalytiske metodekrav om emotionel tilgængelighed og nuanceret iagttagelse beriget nyereudviklingspsykologi. Der illustreres med eksempler fra Freud, Ferenczi, Klein, Mahler, Spitz, Emde, Stern, Bowlby, Benjamin og Gilligan.
