Which one of these was not part of Fairbairn’s endopsychic structure?

  • Central ego

  • Antilibidinal ego

  • Exciting object

  • Passive ego

Answer

**Passive ego was not part of Fairbairn's endopsychic structure, which consisted of the central ego, the libidinal ego, the anti-libidinal ego, and the internalized object relationships.** Instead, Fairbairn used the term "central ego" to refer to the healthy, reality-oriented part of the self that mediates between the other elements of the endopsychic structure.
