The correct answer is using the defense mechanisms of idealization
In psychoanalytic terms, object relations refer to the emotional relationships between subject and loved object that, through a process of common identification, contribute to the development of the ego. By "object" is meant a person, or his representation, with which the subject forms an intense emotional relationship, which enables him to identify with the other.
For Klein, throughout development, the same parental figure has positive and negative aspects that the child will have to introject. Despite the negative meaning given to the "bad" object, the child's good development needs both, but the presence of the "good" object must always prevail.
