Abstract

ABSTRACT This essay follows the trajectory of the 1982 animated short film “The Snowman.” The film’s depiction of a relationship between a young child and an anthropomorphized snowman is used to explore a Freudian conception of the “normal” course of human sexual development. Specifically, the understanding of the snowman as a creative extension of the child is utilized to examine the shaping of narcissistic processes and negotiation of object choice, as well as the complex ways these can continue to interweave through psychical and external realities to shape the experiencing of love.

期刊介绍： The Psychoanalytic Study of the Child is recognized as a preeminent source of contemporary psychoanalytic thought. Published annually, it focuses on presenting carefully selected and edited representative articles featuring ongoing analytic research as well as clinical and theoretical contributions for use in the treatment of adults and children. Initiated in 1945, under the early leadership of Anna Freud, Kurt and Ruth Eissler, Marianne and Ernst Kris, this series of volumes soon established itself as a leading reference source of study. To look at its contributors is to be confronted with the names of a stellar list of creative, scholarly pioneers who willed a rich heritage of information about the development and disorders of children and their influence on the treatment of adults as well as children. An innovative section, The Child Analyst at Work, periodically provides a forum for dialogue and discussion of clinical process from multiple viewpoints.
