Thinking is not possible without symbolization. The book reviews the phenomenon of symbol formation in terms of psychoanalytical approach. The main research revolves around pathology of early symbolization resulting from peculiarities of mother-child relationship. This includes the mother's excessive projective identification on the child's psyche, her insufficient containment function, narcissistic type of relations in dyad and many other factors that can result in extinction of the process of symbolization, the infant's strive for "primary possession", predominance of "magical thinking" and fetishization.
