I am thinking back to Klein’s contention that a failure to internalize a containing mother will impede the internalization of the father and, with that, her trust in a superego that supports her creativity. This seems to me to be the source of the huge deficiency that we can see in Z, which made her continually unhappy.

In this chapter I have focused on the particular importance to the girl of the internalization of her father. Following Klein, I suggest that this process is dependent on the successful outcome of a containing relationship with the mother. The successful internalization of the father appears crucial for the development of the girl’s specifically feminine character.
