This document discusses psychoanalysis and human development from several perspectives. It addresses how emotions, attachment, and relatedness develop from biological and psychological factors through interactions with primary caregivers. Key topics covered include the relational focus of psychoanalysis from the beginning, the debate between Freud and Ferenczi on autonomy versus relatedness, and how internal working models form based on early attachment relationships. Developmental theorists discussed include Freud, Klein, Winnicott, Bowlby, and Kohut.
