What are the objects in object oriented psychology?

They are inner conceptualizations of things a person experiences in their external life. Probably the most common example is a person's parent. Often a parent has many meanings to a person; if an individual is upset they may seek comfort and reassurance from one of their parents by being in their presence. However, sometimes the parent is unavailable in reality, so the individual can rely on the internal image (the internal object) of the mother to serve the same calming purposes. The person can ask themselves 'What would my parent say?' or recall a time with their parent that made them happy; this is relying on the object. In other words, an internal object is an representation of something experienced in reality.
