Interpersonal Theory of Psychiatry (Sullivan)

Abstract: Harry Stack Sullivan's interpersonal theory emphasized the role of interpersonal relationships, social development and culture in the formation of personality. His social psychologically based theory was among the earliest and most cogent critiques of Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic drive theory and his psychosexual developmental theory.

“…According to adherents of interpersonal psychoanalysis, the unique patterns through which adults act upon their environments and relate to their interaction partners are rooted in interpersonal experiences (Brinich & Shelley, 2002). Neo‐Freudian theories, including “interpersonal psychoanalysis,” coined by Sullivan (1953), emerged in response to the dissatisfaction of certain scholars with the Freudian psychosexual theory of personality development. In their view, it put too much emphasis on the biological processes underlying an infant's identification with their caregivers (e.g., parents, grandparents, foster parents) instead of social and cultural processes (Guntrip, 2018).…”

Intimní vztahování se k někomu je založeno na pozitivních behaviorálních komponentách, které se netýkají pouze představ, ale mají svůj vnější projev, styl komuni kace, v němž oba partneři zažívají pocit sdíleného významu (Sullivan, 1953;Erik-son, 1963;Firestone & Firestone, 2004).
