Abstract: It is somewhat difficult to imagine the existence of infants without caregivers. From a psychoanalytic perspective, the existing bond between the infant-child and the caregiver has a definite sexual undertone to it. Sexuality here is not understood in a literal sense but rather a metaphorical sense of a force that affirms the functions of life. As Sartre and Ponty have observed that the proposition of 'existence' is coextensive with 'sexuality' and can be understood in two different ways- every experience of existence has a sexual significance or every sexual phenomenon has an existential import. (De Beauvoir, 1949, p.70).No factor gets involved in the psychic life without taking on a human significance.....
