Mahler's Third Subphase - Rapprochement
16 to 24 months
- Infant now a toddler -- more aware of physical separateness,
which dampens mood of elation
- Child tries to bridge gap between himself and mother --
concretely seen as bringing objects to mother
- Mother's efforts to help toddler often not perceived as helpful,
temper tantrums typical
- Characteristic event: rapprochement crisis: wanting to be
soothed by mother and yet not be able to accept her help
- Symbol of rapprochement: child standing on threshold of door
not knowing wich way to turn in helpless frustration
- resolution of crisis occurs as child's skills improve and
child able to get gratification from doing things himself
