November 20, 2020 — Superego Development and Shame
[36 pages]
As development progresses, differentiation of self and other and the developing child’s need to negotiate between their own wishes, ideals and their ideas and fantasies about the expectations of important others come under the structure of the developing superego. Affective tone and attunement have a significant effect on the superego. We will consider the superego’s function in affect regulation and the neurobiologic and relational aspects of shame.
