Which of these is *not* a concept introduced by Fairbairn?

  • Basic needs

  • Central ego

  • Rejecting object

  • Internal saboteur

Answer

The central ego, as a concept, is not attributed to Fairbairn's object relations theory. Fairbairn's work emphasized the significance of internal objects and their relationships in shaping personality and psychopathology. His key concepts include the internal world, the schizoid and depressive positions, and the importance of attachment experiences.
