마가렛 말러는 영향력 있는 정신 분석가이자 정신과 의사로, 아동 발달 연구와 분리-개별화 이론으로 가장 잘 알려져 있습니다. 이 이론은 영아가 점차 개성을 발달시키고 주요 보호자, 일반적으로 어머니와 분리되는 방식을 탐구합니다. 그녀의 연구는 초기 관계가 성격과 행동을 어떻게 형성하는지 조사하는 대상 관계 이론에 크게 기여했습니다.

1897년 오스트리아-헝가리에서 태어난 말러는 정신 분석으로 전향하기 전에 소아과 의사로 수련을 받았습니다. 그녀는 2차 세계 대전 중에 유럽을 떠나 결국 미국에 정착하여 영유아 발달에 대한 획기적인 연구를 수행했습니다.

 

Margaret Mahler was an influential psychoanalyst and psychiatrist, best known for her work on child development and her separation-individuation theory. This theory explores how infants gradually develop a sense of individuality and separate from their primary caregiver, typically the mother. Her research significantly contributed to object relations theory, which examines how early relationships shape personality and behavior.

Born in 1897 in Austria-Hungary, Mahler initially trained as a pediatrician before transitioning to psychoanalysis. She fled Europe during World War II and eventually settled in the United States, where she conducted groundbreaking studies on infant and young child development.
