Abstract
- This article is a review of the book "Projective identification: a contemporary introduction" by Waska R. The book aims to introduce the concept of projective identification in the contemporary Kleinian tradition. The author uses clinical examples and rhyming mnemonics to describe the therapist's approach to understanding and interpreting projective identification. The book emphasizes the normal use of projective identification as a form of communication, but also acknowledges its potential for destructiveness. It explores the therapist's role in containing and interpreting projective identification, as well as the challenges and benefits of working with this dynamic unconscious phantasy.
