Rather than chance it, they skipped it. But by substituting for Gallop myself once in a while, I found out what it must have been like for poor Frank to not break up.

After the > production of Patterns, when my things were considerably easier to sell, in > a mad and impetuous moment I had the temerity to tackle a theme that was > definitely two-sided in its implications. I think this story is worth > repeating.

Fairbairn's third theoretical paper further alienated those few members of the analytic community who found his work acceptable as he had the temerity to once again urge the replacement of drive theory with his object relations theory. > Amongst the conclusions formulated in the above mentioned paper (his 1941 > paper) two of the most far reaching are the following:(1) that libidinal > "aims" are of secondary importance in comparison with object-relationships > and (2) that a relationship with the object, and not gratification of the > impulse, is the ultimate aim of libidinal striving (Fairbairn, 1952, p. 60). Later on, in the same paper, Fairbairn added another comment that further alienated his analytic colleagues: > A point has now been reached at which the theory (Freud's Libido theory) has > outworn its usefulness and, so far from providing impetus for further > progress within the field of psychoanalytical thought, is actually operating > as a brake upon the wheels ( Fairbairn, 1952, p. 72). This is not what the analytic community was looking for in 1943, as Fairbairn reduced the importance of libido to a secondary position as he described his unique vision of the child's motivation.
