PROJECTIVE IDENTIFICATION
Definition
Occurs when a person projects an unwanted or intolerable aspect (i.e. anxiety) onto someone else, behaves toward the other in a way that generates feelings in the other that correspond with the projection, and then unconsciously identifies with and feels oneness with the other. This process is unconscious and more extreme than projection.
Functions of Projective Identification:
Defense: to get away from painful feelings
Communication: nonverbal, unconscious; rather than tell the therapist about her inner world, the client has the therapist experience it
Object-relatedness: a way of relating to another person
