Projectieve identificatie – wegwijzers en valkuilen

  • Published:
Tijdschrift voor Psychotherapie

Abstract

Dit artikel beschrijft de waardevolle aspecten van het begrip projectieve identificatie. Het plaatst echter ook een aantal kritische kanttekeningen bij de wijze waarop het begrip soms wordt gebruikt. Alvorens te concluderen dat er sprake is van projectieve identificatie is het zinvol om een aantal verschillen in het oog te houden: het onderscheid tussen afweer en onvermogen; tussen projectieve identificatie en primaire identificatie; tussen intentie tot communicatie en communicatief potentieel van gedrag; tussen projectieve identificatie als afweer en projectieve identificatie als communicatie; en tussen projectieve identificatie van de patiënt en projectieve identificatie van de therapeut.

Summary

This article describes the valuable aspects of the concept of projective identification. It also raises a number of critical notes regarding the way the concept is sometimes used. Before concluding that projectieve identification is present, it is helpful to keep a number of distinctions in mind: that between defence and deficit, between projective identification and primary identification, between intention to communicate and communicative potential of behaviour, between projective identification as defence and projective identification as communication, between projective identification of the patient and projective identification of the therapist.
