Projective Identification
Projective identification is an interpersonal defense mechanism shared by two or more people based on a shared fantasies object relationship. Here, the parts of the self and internal objects are split off and projected onto and external object. The object then becomes “identified” with the spilt off part as well as possessed and controlled by it. In family ahd material treatment, a therapist can easily become involved in projective identification, he or she subsequently gets pulled toward one partner’s side of the battle and begins to act out against the other partner, thereby disrupting treatment.
Projective identification occurs extensively and frequently between the spouses as well as between parents and children. The mechanism of projective identification between marital partners is facilitated by choosing a partner that shares one’s neurotic conflict and then accusing the partner for the problem. A parent’s continued use of accusations (i.e. “You’ll become just like your father”) can initiate projective identification. This is the colloquial “self-fulfilling prophecy”. In parent-child relationships, projective identification can occur readily and extentively because the child may view the parent’s projections as reality. Children often base their developing identities on these projections.
Family Image
The concept of family image described by Sonne (1981, p. 82) refers to a developing child’s recognition of the existence of a marital dyadic relationship between the parents and his internalization of such an image. The child learns to relate to the parental dyadic relationship in a fashion similar to how or she relates to the individual parental figures. This family image expands the child’s possibilities for the identification with the roles assumed by both parents. The development of triadic family image is influential in the issue of mate selection as well as transference distortions outside of the marital relationship.
Holding environment
The concept of holding environment developed by Winnicot refers to a quality and characteristic of interaction between the mother and infant. This concept has been further utilized to describe a certain aspect of the therapeutic situation. The function of “holding” refers to those facilitative aspects of the environment that the provide infant with the feeling of safety, constancy, and “containment”. The holding environment produced by the mother provides safety, constancy and protection for the infant. It also provide a precise reflection of the infant’s experience and gestures to him or her that can facilitate growth as well as allowing temporary regressions
