Mahler’in Ayrışma-Bireyleşme Kuramına Göre Küçük Kara Balık Kitabı’nın İncelenmesi

Bu çalışmanın amacı Küçük Kara Balık kitabındaki Küçük Kara Balık’ın yaşam olaylarının, bu yaşam olaylarına gösterdiği tepkilerin ve duygularının Mahler’in Ayrışma-Bireyleşme Kuramı kapsamında değerlendirilmesi, karakterin başından geçenlerin Mahler’in teorisi ile örtüşen ve çatışan yerlerinin tartışılmasıdır. Mahler’in kuramı ayrışma-bireyleşmeyi, farklılaşma, alıştırma, yeniden yakınlaşma ve bireyliğin pekişmesi ve coşkusal nesne sürekliliğinin başlangıcı olmak üzere dört alt evre üzerinden incelemektedir. Küçük Kara Balık kitabında asıl incelenen ve ana karakter olan Küçük Kara Balık, annesiyle yaşayan ve amacı dereden ayrılarak denize ulaşmak olan küçük bir balıktır. Çalışma boyunca Küçük Kara Balık karakterine özellikle son üç alt evre açısından odaklanılmış ve anne ile yaşanılan sorunların karakterin davranışları üzerindeki etkileri tartışılmıştır. Karakterin öfke eşiğinin düşüklüğünün ve yaşadığı yutulma korkusunun anne ile öngörülen ilişkinin kurulamadığından kaynaklı olduğu, ancak bu durumun bireyleşme sürecinde kendisi için engelleyici bir faktör olmadığı düşünülmüştür.

An Examination of Little Black Fish with Mahler’s Separation Individuation Theory

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the experiences and feelings of the Little Black Fish according to Mahler's Separation-Individuation Theory and to discuss the overlapping and conflicting parts with Mahler's theory. Mahler's theory examines the four sub-stages of separation-individuation as differentiation/hatching, practicing, rapprochement and object constancy. Little Black Fish, main character of the book, is a small fish that lives with its mother and is separated from the stream to reach the sea. Throughout the study, the character of Little Black Fish has been analyzed using Mahler’s theory and the maternal roots of the character’s behavioral problems is discussed. The character's low anger threshold and fear of engulfment are thought to be rooted in the inability to establish the predicted relationship with the mother. However, this is not a major obstacle to the process of individuation.
