In a modern psychoanalytic approach, it is necessary to consider various aspects of projective identification (PI). And the defining moment is a person’s unconscious desire to rid himself of an unbearable part of himself (feeling, impulse, image) and place it in another person with whom he is in close interaction. This happens if this part of oneself is felt as destructive, threatening integrity, too dangerous to have in oneself. And then it’s as if she’s not mine anymore. Or, on the contrary, this part is too important for a person, a value, and can be destroyed by his own negative part. And then it must be hidden from oneself and thus preserved. To do this, a valuable part is placed in a loved one, with whom he partially merges. A person actually cannot free himself from this content, since it contains his own energy necessary for life. Therefore, the connection is preserved and maintained. An important next aspect of PI is that the person creating the projection provokes his object to behave or feel as if it were his own content, while the object has little doubt about it. For this purpose, it influences the object in a certain way. In this case, it is very important for a person to make sure that the projected content is accepted. Confirmation of this is that the object begins to demonstrate, especially non-verbally, feelings or actions consistent with the content of the projection. If the projected content was accepted by the object of projection, without it destroying it, and then transformed into more manageable content, if the object coped with the feelings delegated to it, then this can become a healing factor for a person, for example, in a therapeutic situation. And in life, during the interaction of a sensitive, emotionally responsive mother and baby, this is a common process. Thus, the object of projection can be a model for the projector. The subject will introject transformed impulses due to the openness of the object of projection (mother for a child or analyst for a client). In the opposite case, if the object of projection is emotionally closed or goes into a defensive position (begins to defend itself) and is anxious, then the projector’s fear of his own projected content is significant intensify. Thus, an emotionally cold or distant mother is unable to help her infant process aggressive impulses and anxiety attacks. For illustration, I would like to give a complete example from Bion’s practice, where he describes the manifestation of PI in an analytical situation: “Throughout the analysis, the patient resorts to PI with a persistence that inspires the idea that this is a mechanism that he could never afford sufficiently; analysis provides him with the opportunity to apply this mechanism... the patient felt as if some object was prohibiting him from using the PI... that the parts of his personality that he wanted to place in me were forbidden access to me... When the patient sought to get rid of the fear of death... he split off your fears and placed them inside me. The idea seemed to be that if these fears were allowed to remain in me long enough, they would undergo modification in my soul and could then be safely reintrojected. One day I noticed how a patient felt... that I was evacuating these feelings too quickly, so that they were not modified, but became even more painful... he sought to inject them into me with even greater desperation and violence. His behavior, isolated from the context of the analysis, could seem to be a manifestation of pure aggression... his aggression was a reaction to what he perceived as my hostile defensiveness... the analytic situation gave me the feeling that I was witnessing an exceptionally early scene. I felt that this patient had experienced this kind of behavior from his mother in early childhood when she formally responded to his emotional manifestations. Understanding.
