The body of theories and hypotheses known respectively as the conflict model and object relations model are arguably the two major domains of psychoanalytic theory to have developed over the past century. A dynamic tension, usually, though not always, complimentary exists between the two. The panelists will address the development of these models and the evolving compromise between them.
