Projektive Identifizierung – zur Entwicklung eines Konzepts und dessen zugrunde liegender Sprachauffassung
摘要
This article traces the development of the concept of projective identification, from Klein through Heimann, Segal, Bion and Ogden up to Civitarese and examines the underlying conception of language in each case. It demonstrates how the concept has evolved from a purely defensive mechanism to a general concept of empathy and explores the implications for the understanding of the unconscious and the shift from a purely intrapsychic to an interpsychic concept.
