The Concept of Projective Indentification and Its Clinical Relevance
American journal of psychotherapy, Vol.43(2), p238
01 Apr 1989
Abstract
After briefly reviewing various contributions to the concept of projective identification, the author describes the clinical manifestations of this defense. These include (1) disownment and redirection of an intolerable experience to another, (2) manipulation of the recipient in an attempt to control, and (3) an induction of congruent responses in the recipient. The author then discusses the relevance of this concept from a diagnostic and treatment perspective.
