Resumo(s)
The first comprehensive integrated model of personality development by Sidney Blatt stipulates that self-definition and relatedness are concepts that influence personality and psychological development. Contemporary authors, such as Jorge Forbes, bring insights into Lacan's theory discussing the individual of the 21st century. This comparative study links theories of both authors with new insights in the development of a theoretical model of psychological maturity. Psychological development occurs throughout a lifetime, and carries out important subjective processes. The hypotheses show that discovering one's desire and subjectivity is not enough to reach psychological maturity. Otherwise, individual autonomy is a necessary condition to achieve psychological maturity. Psychological well-being defended as a diffuse well-being is reached through psychological maturity if mediated by subjective responsibility.
