Abstract

This article describes the way the employee assistance program (EAP) meets profound unconscious ne^ in the work force. British object relations theory will be used to analyze how the employee assistance program provides a feeling of safety, opportunities for reparation, good enough mothering, and holding. Case examples will illustrate how this happens. © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
