If the love for self gets transmitted on the transitional item which often, aids in the transferral onto the liked item into the outside environment. This means that, the transitional item will act as a go-between along the way of transfer of omnipotent want to an outside item of love. But, if this transmission gets thwarted, the libido gets fixated from the object that is transitional could in turn manifest as a fetish. The interruption for the procedure might make the child influenced by the object that is transitional. The thing aids the little one to regress to a phase ahead of the interruption and rejection regarding the libido by the neglecting mother.

The fetish may be the remaining semblance of truth for the kid whom could just grasp it from a paranoid position that is schizoid. This object then facilitates her delving much much deeper into her world that is own of where her requirements are thought as really satisfied.
