Splitting
Update: 2025-09-06
Description
In this episode, Dr Carveth discusses splitting.
Don goes on to discuss a problem in Kleinian theory of development, and how Klein attributes the capacity to split of infants under six months of age.
That said, splitting is a complex cognitive capacity to abstract and generalize that can only arise with symbolization, sometime in the second year of life.
This is not a problem for the Kleinian theory of the mind of older children, adolescents and adults, but only for its theory of infant development.
