Heinz [[Hartmann]] introduced the [[concepts]] of primary and secondary ego [[autonomy]] in 1939, and elaborated on [[them]] in later writings (Hartmann, 1964). Within the framework of his description lies a [[conflict]]-free sphere of the ego. The [[notion]] of "ego autonomy" implies that the ego and [[The Id|the id]] derive from a common [[matrix]] where certain ego precursors prefigure functions destined to develop autonomously, independently of the [[instincts]] and their vicissitudes.
Primary and secondary autonomy involve two sets of hypotheses, which together constitute the conflict-free ego sphere. Hartmann replaced [[Freud]]'s view that the ego grows out of [[The Id|the id ]] with the hypothesis that both ego and id are derived from a common undifferentiated medium.
Related concepts are [[change]] of function, neutralization, automatization, and ego interests. Hartmann focused especially on the autonomy of specific ego functions, and stressed that ego autonomy is relative, since both primary and secondarily [[autonomous]] components can be drawn into conflict.
