Object Relations theory is the major theory in Western psychology that describes the development of a human from birth to adulthood and offers many insights into the formation and operation of personality. By integrating Object Relations theories with the Enneagram system’s map of personality, both views of human personality are expanded and refined. In this presentation, we will explore several threefold Object Relations theories and their exact parallels with the Enneagram’s inner triangle, and we will use these developmental insights to map out the basic psychic structure (core wound, defenses, and relational patterns) of each of the nine types.
