“Three variables involving the mother are of particular importance in shaping, promoting, or hindering the individual child’s adaptability, drive, and ego development, and the beginning structuralization of precursors of his sugerego: The mother’s personality structure. The developmental process of her parental function (Benedek, 1959). The mother’s conscious, but particularly unconscious, fantasy regarding the individual child. These three variables, together with the child’s potentialities, determine the degree to which the child is able to fulfill the mother’s specific fantasies and expectations. These variables are, of course, interdependent.”
