心理学语境下的解释
Term专业术语定义
good-enough mother
这是英国客体关系学派代表人物D. W. Winnicott提出的核心概念。在精神分析中：A good-enough mother is one adapts actively to her infant's needs at the beginning, and then gradually reduces this adaptation as the child develop. “足够好的母亲”在婴儿早期几乎完全适应婴儿的需求，使婴儿体验到全能感；随着婴儿成长，母亲逐渐减少这种适应，让孩子开始面对挫折，从而发展出真实自体（true self）和适应现实的能力。核心要点：不是完美母亲、允许适度挫折、帮助孩子从“主观全能”过渡到“客观现实”、是健康人格形成的关键。
