The Novicks present a groundbreaking developmental theory of sadomasochism, drawing on extensive observational data across different life stages. They argue that painful experiences in infancy evolve into complex attachment styles, leading to feelings of specialness and destructive power.

This work highlights the intricate connections between early experiences and later psychological patterns.
