 Key figures: David and Jill Scharff, Nathan Ackerman, Ivan Boszormenyi-Nagy, Mary-Joan Gerson, Peggy Papp, Samuel SlippThe theory chapters start with the systemic approach of object relations therapists. Beginning with Sigmund Freud’s original drive/structure psychology, multiple scientist-practitioners began in the late 1920s and 1930s to investigate actual children and the nature of their relationships with significant caregivers. Many of these investigations were initiated in England, and the theorists came to be known as object relations practitioners. David and Jill Scharff developed object relations family therapy more fully using emotional tracking and an analysis of transference and countertransference to uncover unconscious processes within the family.
