Fairbairn's theories challenged whose dominant ideas?
Carl Jung
Alfred Adler
Sigmund Freud
B.F. Skinner
Answer
Fairbairn challenged the dominant ideas of Sigmund Freud by emphasizing the importance of object relations rather than solely focusing on intrapsychic conflicts. While Freud's theories emphasized the role of unconscious processes and individual instincts, Fairbairn proposed that personality and psychopathology are largely shaped by interpersonal experiences and emotional attachments to others, especially important early relationships.
