« "The internal psychic reality, which Freud taught us to respect, now becomes a real thing for the infant who feels that personal wealth resides within the "self"." This personal wealth develops from the simultaneous experience of love and hatred, which implies the success of ambivalence. It is the enrichment and refinement of this ambivalence that will lead to the appearance of solicitude. »
