Abstract
Boothe B. The Unavailable relationship, the Capacity to Be Alone, and the Female Oedipal Development. Int Forum Psychoanal 1992;l: 104-109. Stockholm. ISSN 0803-706X
Three combined steps of progression, which center around the female oedipal development, are introduced and illustrated by a clinical example:
(1) the so-called “disillusionment-discouragement fantasy”
(2) the capacity to be alone
(3) the confidence of having “treasures” to give to a beloved partner.
