Understanding the earliest periods of human life has always been an effort for psychoanalysts to reach the deepest understanding. Over the years, different theorists have tried to explain the place of the mother in the early experiences of the infant in different ways. M. Mahler says that at the beginning of life a normal autistic period comes first and a symbiotic period follows it. Although she did not devote a great deal of space in her theory to the detailed study of these periods, she devoted a great deal of space to child psychosis and the study of separation-individuation periods. While Alice Balint states that the infant describes its mother as an object with no other occupation or interest othan than itself, D. W. Winnicott emphasized the infant's achievement of a more separated integration by referring to a period of fusion or symbiosis through primary maternal occupation, the illusion of omnipotence and identification with the state of “being”. A. Balint and T. Benedek focused on the reciprocal aspects of symbiosis in the sense that in mother-infant symbiosis, the mother's own needs are also oriented towards caregiving. G. H. Pollock gives special attention to this issue in his detailed article on symbiosis. The early emphasis on the mother-infant unity refers to the analytic relationship. Through the concepts of transference-countertransference, he brings a new perspective to understand the ambiguity of this period. In conclusion, J. Bleger's answer to the question of whether the self and the object exist separately at the beginning of life was different from other theorists. By his unique concepts, he tried to define the ambiguous qualities of the object-relations that exists from the beginning, and to emphasize how these qualities function and persist. His contribution makes it possible for us to follow the traces of symbiosis in clinical phenomena.
